Pocahontas wild adventures in Year 2

14th September 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

Class 6 have had a fab afternoon completing their first Commando Joe mission of the Autumn Term! 🤩

This is part of their Pocahontas unit and was a great activity to get them started. In teams, we each had to protect our ‘babies’ in our Native American tribe from the English. As Native American mothers, team leaders had to make a sling to carry their babies hands free and lead their team to safety across the treacherous forest. They had to navigate over slippery stepping stones, cross bubbling brooks, trawl under leafy terrain, as well as avoiding any dangerous wildlife.

What an adventure they had! 🧳

Year 3’s trek across the Amazon

14th September 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 3 took part in their first mission to the Amazon this week with Commando Joe. This term they are learning about Ed Stafford and how he walked the length of the Amazon River over two years. They will have to complete tasks each week which require them to show the same skills Ed will have used when he was on his journey.

Commando Joe missions in Year 4

This afternoon Year 4 completed a Commando Joe activity where they had to work as a team to transfer water from a bucket to a jug at the other side of the yard. The children really enjoyed it and showed great teamwork skills!

Mr McCormack’s class were taking part in one of our Commando Joe sessions taking on the role of Ed Stafford and trying to find their way across the Amazon.

They used plenty of teamwork and ingenuity to achieve their mission goal. Well done everyone!
