At the start of term, the energetic and curious Year 4 pupils at our prep school delved into an exhilarating world of map reading and code cracking. With an air of anticipation, the students were armed with nothing but a map adorned with mysterious numbers, and their mission was to navigate the labyrinth of the school grounds in search of hidden letters that held the key to a secret code.

The school grounds transformed into a playground of discovery as the young adventurers embarked on their quest. Armed with determination and a newfound knowledge of map reading, each group strategically planned their routes, deciphering the cryptic clues that guided them from one location to another. The air was filled with excitement as the students eagerly moved from point to point, their eyes scanning the surroundings for elusive letters that would unlock the secrets of the code.

The challenge wasn’t just about finding the letters; it was a holistic learning experience. The students honed their map-reading skills, fostering a sense of spatial awareness that will undoubtedly serve them well in various real-life situations. Additionally, the exercise promoted teamwork and collaboration, as the pupils worked together to crack the code and unlock the hidden message.

As the sun began its descent, casting a warm glow over the school grounds, the Year 4 pupils gathered with a sense of accomplishment. The big question hung in the air: had they successfully cracked the code? The atmosphere buzzed with excitement and anticipation as the moment of revelation approached. In the end, the Letter Hunt proved to be an unforgettable adventure, blending education with fun and fostering valuable skills that extend beyond the classroom.
