Lost and Found

Before Christmas we read the story Lost and Found, can you remember the characters in the story?

The boy found a penguin on his doorstep and set off on an adventure to help him to get home, can you remember where he lived and how they travelled?

The boy and the penguin sent a letter to Garnet, asking for our help, they wanted to visit the polar bears in the North Pole and needed a map to help them find their way. Garnet class made a map to guide them. Can you remember some of the countries and cities we drew on the map?

They sent another letter asking us to write a list of things to pack for their journey. Can you remember what we wrote on the list? Why did we include hat, scarf, gloves and coat?

Some children began to get a little worried ……. we began to realise how big the world is and how many countries and houses Father Christmas would need to visit on Christmas Eve. How would he remember where we all live? We didn’t want to get the wrong presents! We decided to make a map of our local area and then we put our houses on the correct road. We then sent our map to Santa to help him remember where we live. Can you remember where you live? Did Santa visit your house, was our map useful?

How you can help at home:

Teach your child their address.

Talk about your local area and how this is different from other places.
