Year 1 Go Sailing!

Year 1 have had a very exciting afternoon role playing what it would be like sailing on a ship.

The children watched a film clip first and shared their ideas before they were given their tickets, book bags (luggage) and proceeded through passport control where tickets were stamped, then boarded the Oakwood Cruise ship.

While on the ship the children were encouraged to think about what it would be like.

When suddenly a thunder storm broke out, complete with sound effects, with waves crashing over the side of the boat and they then had to explore an unknown land. As they they explored the land they had to decide where they were. Who they had met? What had they seen? Who were they with? What happened? What had they seen? How will they find their way back home?

The children will be planning and writing their stories later in the week and we are really looking forward to reading the stories that the children will be writing about in their Adventure.
