It’s early morning, and in a disused corner of a classroom a battered tent is erected, showing wear and tear from years of travel around the globe. Lit from inside, mysterious shadows can be seen playing on canvas, strange music and the smell of incense drift through the air. Inside Granddad is fast asleep surrounded by souvenirs that he has collected on his travels each a clue to Granddad’s history…
Through detective work the children are encouraged to record what they have seen, heard, smelt and touched and assemble evidence to help Granddad remember where he has been and where he has come from. His travels to other schools can be seen on the Granddad website www.travelswithgranddad.co.uk where you can read his blog and keep track of his adventures!
