During guided reading Yellow Team read Pandora's box. After a little bit of reciprocal reading, we got ready for Literacy time but before we could begin, Mr Walls had taken delivery of a very interesting chest. Once the mysterious package arrived in class the atmosphere in Y4 was electric.
Initially some children begged me not to open it, after all, Pandora had caused all sorts of trouble letting out those pesky spites.
As a class we decided to take a risk, Bailey proudly announced he was willing to sacrifice himself for us.
Cautiously we opened it ..
This is what we found inside.
Underneath the scrolls we could see a book and what looked like a map, although it was really difficult to see.

| What does it say? |
 |
| The map |
 |
| Reading the mystery message. |
 |
| Inside the drawer was a pink crystal and a small box |
 |
| Another box it open, I wasn't brave enough. |
 |
| The map |
 |
| What is inside it? |
 |
| A very anxious Mrs Warner |
 |
| Now time to crack the code |
 |
| Sharing code |
 |
| More sharing, then it was playtime but we hadn't completed the coded message |
 |
| Excited children keen to work out the message |
 |
| Outside Y4 |
 |
| Another word cracked |
 |
| A completed message |
 |
| and so our adventure begins! |
 |
| The mystery delivery |
We are really looking forward to finding out more about the journey that awaits us.
Who can remember the message? Write back and tell me how you feel about our adventure? Are you feeling brave, anxious, excited?
On Thursday you all designed your own MYST journals. Here are some photos of them.
