A seasonal Thinking Adventure for Year 2,3 & 4…..

Christmas was in the air for our Year 2-4 boys, who emerged from their snow and ice-laden driveways to enjoy a Thinking Adventure together. The brief was brief; Blitzen has gone missing from the North Pole and has turned up at Davenies.  But could the boys interpret the clues to determine what happened to him?

The boys were mixed into groups and took part in a range of meetings with key witnesses who had something to report, from Mr Rycroft who noticed some magical hay food upon arriving at School to two real Reindeer and their handlers who were able to offer some hints as to what might have happened….. Our boys worked together superbly, showing imagination, courtesy and teamwork whilst practising important life skills such as time keeping, organisation and creative thinking.

As it turned out, Blitzen was sulking as he had been told off by one of his handlers and flew to Davenies to learn how to behave better and try harder. As ever we were happy to oblige, and as a result Christmas is back on!
