Welcome to BCPS Treasure Seekers

No Treasure Mystery too small or too big to solve!

UPDATE: Tuesday 19th September 2006

We recieved another letter from Mr. Green. This time it contained a map with lots of Egyptian names on it. We researched the map and discovered that the map was of the 'Valley of the Kings' near Luxor in Egypt. The names were in fact Pharoahs who had been buried there.

Friday 15th September 2006

Letter recieved from Mr. Green from Cheshire containing a mysterious object and photograph. Treasure Seekers have researched both and discovered the photograph is of Tutankhamun's Tomb, and the object an Ankh. (Egyptian hyroglyph meaning 'the gift of life'). Check back soon for further reports, photographs and details on their findings.

Well done team.

On Wednesday 13th September 2006, BCPS Treasure Seekers attended their first 'Training Field Day'. In the morning archaelogical digs took place on the playground... look what we found...

In the afternoon Mike Longfield, a local archaeologist, came to talk to us about the treasures that he has found both locally and abroad. It was great to see the things he had found - Tudor gold coins, Roman pottery and belt buckles and even lead musket balls!

Be sure to visit this page again soon to see what kind of adventures the BCPS Treasure Seekers will be getting up to next!

Minibeast Madness!

On Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th March, Year 4 entertained their parents with the musical 'Minibeast Madness'. The pupils were fantastic as they sung songs and danced the night away dressed as a colourful assortment of little bugs and beasts. Have a look at the pictures to see how some excellent costumes and amazing make up transformed Year 4 into an 'Ugly Bug Ball'!

Guess the insect!

The Animals Visit 4B!

Mr Brattle and some of his sixth form students from Solihull School, came to talk to us about the classification of animals. They were amazed by how much we knew and said we new much more than the other schools they had visited!

They brought some animals for us to see and this included Basil, the female boa constrictor. She is 3 metres long!
