The children in Year 2 found a mysterious treasure chest in the sand pit this week. The children, as well as the teachers were astounded, yet baffled as to where it had come from. Inside the chest they discovered many interesting objects, such as: a compass, telescope, a picture of a man, a Spanish Flag, an American flag, a sailors hat, a boat, a mango, an avocado and even a picture of Santa!
What could all this mean?
Accompanying the items inside the chest was a letter addressed to the Year 2 children from Mrs Nicholls. In the letter Mrs Nicholls explains that she found the trunk with the objects inside but she has no idea what they mean! Mrs Nicholls has asked the children in Year 2 to use their investigating skills to find information about the objects and what pieces them together. Mrs Nicholls has given the children the whole half term to figure out what each item is and why they are in the trunk to then report back to her.
The children are VERY excited and cant wait to get cracking on the clues!
"Oh my god it's treasure in the sandpit!" exclaimed Kara.
"Why is there an avocado?" questioned John.
Today, the children haven't stopped talking about the chest and their theories about it. Here are some of the current ideas the children have:

Today, the children haven't stopped talking about the chest and their theories about it. Here are some of the current ideas the children have:
- Santa has been abducted by pirates and taken to Spain.
- Maybe there are another 3 chests to be found by us.
- The man in the picture could be related to Mrs Nicholls!
- Pirates have lost it and we need to search for a treasure map to find out what the keys are for.
- The ship sank and these are the clues about what happened.
Who knows? Let's wait and see...
