Over the Top!

Wow!  What a start 7 Explorer have had to kick off their very first expedition at XP East!

During our Immersion Week, we have had two experts visit us.  Our first expert shared a selection of fascinating artefacts from World War 1.  We enjoyed handling the artefacts and then asking questions.

Billy asked: “Why does the shell casing have a carving on it?

Rosie asked: “What do the different badges represent?

Our second expert was Frank who races pigeons.  We invited Frank in to talk to us about his pigeons after we had watched a mystery clip about how important pigeons were during World War 1.

We all wrote a message and then Frank chose four messages which were attached to the pigeons.  Take a look at our video which shows Florence releasing one of the pigeons.

We are now all waiting to see whether the pigeons arrived home safely and Frank received his messages.

Feathers crossed!
