This week Hedgehogs have fallen straight into (luckily not the sea) their new topic ‘Land Ahoy!’’. We have discovered that this is all about pirates. The Year Two’s have had a full on week of transforming into one eyed, one legged and funny looking pirates. They have learnt how to speak like pirates, explored famous sea travellers and even made information booklets all about famous captains. One lesson we enjoyed in particular was science! Hedgehogs got the lab coats and googles on and worked hard to find out which material would be the strongest and best to make a pirate ship. They had to test fabric, paper and plastic. Surprisingly, paper held the most bricks but not for the longest. However, that can be another experiment for another time… We had such brilliant scientist in the room and Hedgehogs’ even wrote a conclusion of their findings. Captain Hall was very impressed!
