We have had a great start to year 2. It has been 'building learning communities' week so we have been playing lots of games and doing activities which develop our skills for working as part of a team. One of the games was 'tangles' which involved everybody linking hands across, around and even underneath each other! Then we had to work together to get out of the tangle.
We had a class photo taken by Mrs Shepherd, see if you can spot it in the school foyer. It might look a little bit different to this one!
On Thursday something very excited happened. Mrs. Hicks came to year 2 to show us a bottle that she found floating in the estuary and a box that had washed up on the banks when she had been travelling in from Shirehampton that morning. Inside the box were lots of mysterious objects which looked like they might belong to a pirate. Inside the bottle was a very old, tattered letter which gave us some clues as to who the box belonged to. We were instructed to go out to the playground and collect letters which spelt out the owners name. When had them all they spelt out Blackbeard! We have lots of things we would like to find out about this notorious pirate!
Next week we should be able to tell you lots of interesting facts all about Blackbeard.
