Today, we started our new topic in Sycamore Tree by finding letters hidden around the hall. We found 9 letters and then arranged them to make a word.
Can you figure out what the title of our new topic is using the words below?

We then went outside and used an aerial view map of our playground and compass points to locate hidden objects. We used navigational language such as:
- North, East, South, West
- Left turn, right turn
- Quarter turn, full turn, half turn
- anti-clockwise, clockwise
We then created some fantastic pieces of art by folding, bending, twirling, curling and sticking paper. We made 3D ocean scenes using a range of different blues, greens and whites to represent the waves. Some children made choppy, rough waves by creating large, high bends and others chose to make a calm, tranquil scene by curling their paper tightly.
We are all very excited to find out all about explorers and Christopher Columbus. What would you like to find out?
