Whistling Caves Adventure Day
What an amazing adventure! Unit 2 thoroughly immersed themselves in their adventure day. Each and every one of them took on the role of either Scott, Jack, Emily or Drift from Whistling Caves and brought not just the Whistling Caves book to life, but also their own magnificent stories. The school field was transformed into a campsite and the bushes and shrubs became the Whistling Caves.
The children spent the day doing a variety of activities whilst in role such as: Creating maps of their location, hunting for clues, painting the landscape just like Aunt Kate from the book enjoys doing and devouring a delicious picnic (that they had helped make) of sandwiches, ginger cake and chocolate & courgette cake!
The Great Bread Bake Off
The children in Unit 2 designed some very inventive and creative roll shapes and flavour combinations for the Great Bread Bake Off. The judges had an extremely difficult job in deciding who would be awarded Star Baker in each class.
Star Baker in Hedgehogs was Olivia
Star Bakers in Badgers were Ava and Naiimah
Star Bakers in Squirrels were Kyren and Ava. R
Have a look at the slideshow below to see some of the delicious bread rolls that filled the whole school with mouthwatering smells yesterday.

Author Visit in Unit 2
We had a special visitor in Unit 2 today – the fabulous author of our current class book 'The Mystery of the Whistling Caves: Helen Moss. She led a fascinating and inspiring workshop in each class on how to write a mystery story. She taught us to start with what goes missing, who took it and why before we start our story. Once we had these ideas firmly in place, we started to tell the story with our 3 main characters (and Drift the dog of course!) having fun together in Castle Key on the last day of the summer holiday. Drift finds a clue that leads the children on a hunt for a lost treasure map. Helen guided the children through the stages of how a mystery story develops. Each of the three classes will be using their new authorial skills to plan and write their own mystery story. 
Our adventures around the UK
Using The Mystery of the Whistling Caves as inspiration, we have taken on the role of adventure seeking children just like Scott, Jack and Emily to discover more about the country we live in. Each week Unit 2 classes have been left a clue to solve in order to work out the location of the our next visit.
Clue 3
Clue 2
Our second clue took us to Mount Snowdon in Wales. We worked out what equipment we would need to climb to the summit. We discussed the changes in weather the higher we climbed and compared the landscape to Suffolk.
Clue 1
The children worked out that we needed to travel to Cornwall's golden sands.
