Last week, when the children came back from their Easter holidays, there was a mysterious parcel left in the Year One classroom. We were all very excited and began to ask questions about what might be inside it.
The next day, we opened the box and inside was a cuddly, toy fox. After a vote, the class decided to name our new friend Rainbow. Rainbow spent a happy week in our classroom, inspiring us all to write about our favourite toys from home.
Missing!!
After the weekend, we came to school and Rainbow was missing! Year One were extremely worried about Rainbow and upset that he was missing. We decided to make ‘lost’ posters and put them up around the school, describing what Rainbow looked like.
The following day, Rainbow had still not returned to the classroom. We decided to take matters into our own hands and go on a hunt to look for our missing friend. We took a tour around the school in search of Rainbow. We visited the other classrooms and asked staff who we bumped into if they had seen Rainbow.
After a few conversations, we pieced together the clues and found Rainbow in the PE cupboard. He must have followed us during one of our PE sessions and got stuck there.
We couldn’t be happier to have him back with us, safe and sound.
