Pirate Co-ordinates!!!

This week in maths we have been learning about co-ordinates and we were fab at reading co-ordinate grids so we started to link co-ordinates into direction. We made our own pirate co-ordinate maps and tested our partners to see if they could identify the different features, and we all challenged each other with our giant co-ordinate grid.

 

You can try these co-ordinate games at home on the computer...

 

This one is a little tricky, place the red dot for each insect on the correct co-ordinate clicking HERE

 

Catch the fly by identifying the co-ordinate HERE

A surprise for us!!

This morning when we came into class, we had a surprise package. We passed it round the circle and guessed what we thought it might be, some people thought it was sugar, some thought it was a map and some thought it was empty!!

When Jack opened it for us we found a message in a bottle from a pirate!!

We read it carefully and found out the pirate had sent it from a ship on the Atlantic Ocean and his ship had been invaded by sneaky pirates trying to steal their treasure!! Can you remember what he said he had been busy doing? This week in literacy we are writing replies......What would you write if you were putting a message in a bottle?
