The Big Mystery

What do you think when you arrive at school and find a large, heavy Christmas parcel sitting on the mat?

We found a present in our room. It is a mystery. 

Santa flew to Cockle Bay. Santa brought it in the sleigh.

I think Mrs Claus brought it on her husband's sleigh.

We don't know what is inside the present. I think it's a puzzle box. 

Oooooh! A present? I wonder what it is?  I wonder how it got here?

"I wonder what's in the present?" I said to Mrs O'Callaghan. 

What is in the present? I don't know.

I think Mrs Todd left it because Grayson saw Mrs Todd at Room 29.

I don't know how this present got here and I think it is a yellow submarine. 

I think Santa pushed it in the room. 

I WONDER what is in the present? I think it is a lot of cats. 

I thought that it got delivered to the wrong place. 



How did it feel lifting the present?
  • It is quite heavy 
  • There was some straining at the knees 
  • Sometimes it took 2 to lift it
  • We couldn't see the faces of the shorter children
  • Some children nearly fell over from the size and weight of it. 
  • You can't hold it for too long. 




                                                                                                                                            
We went for a walk and a talk with a friend talking about the mystery of the present left in our room. 

Who left it in Room 29? How did it get here? What is inside?




We made a word bank to help us write.
