Yr5 The Explorer

Date: 11th Nov 2022 @ 2:22pm

This morning Y5 discussed questions like; How would you survive in the Amazon jungle? What skills and knowledge would you need to survive like the characters in the book?

We looked at some of the skills that you need in the jungle, and what you would need to prioritise be the order to survive in this environment. 

Using the S.T.O.P method (Stop, Think, Observe, Plan) we looked at what we need to do first and came up with a plan as if we were characters from the text. This ranged from searching the plane for water and food to finding a map and compass to navigate out the jungle.

We also looked at techniques to find North using the stars, the sun and a watch.
