PMC Amazing Race

As part of the Week of the Arts, our class are creating an Amazing Race morning for the PMC boys. Each PMC boy will visit 10 different countries (activities) and complete a task at their own level. The Year 6 boys will be responsible for creating a welcome, dressing up in character, creating a stand and helping the boys complete their task.

As part of homework Year 6 boys are required to find their costumes and decorations. We are discussing today who is in what group, their allocated country and activities. Even the extra boys who are 'tour guides' have also been allocated a country to help prepare decorations, greetings, sign and facts for. Below are a list for any boys who have forgotten:
