Seven Worlds – One Planet

Author: Jill Bates

Have you ever travelled the world in day? Well, Y3 have! Firstly they received a video message from the one and only Sir David Attenborough announcing that they would be travelling around all seven continents in one day! How did we do this? Well, a jumbo jet was the only way to travel. Our teacher handed us our own individual passports and boarding passes. Without a second to lose, we passed through border control, listened to the steward as she told us about the emergency procedures and found our seats. It seemed like we might be on the plane for a lifetime but in the blink of an eye we had arrived at our first destination. We celebrated our God Given Talents today by learning African dance, collaging giant parrots found in South America as well as using our Christian Value of perseverance to build the Eiffel Tower out of spaghetti and marshmallows in Europe. Our tummies rumbled loudly as we immersed ourselves in the aroma of turmeric and fennel through Asia. Antarctica challenged our maths thinking as we completed igloo calculations. Stunning dotty patterns were printed on boomerangs in Australia. In North America we solved USA flag puzzles and a landmarks quiz. As we passed through each continent a sticker welcoming us was added to our tops. We wish you could have come along with us; it really was a once in a lifetime trip and we wish you could have joined us. We now can’t wait to continue our ‘Let’s Get Ready to Rumble!’ topic.
