If stranded on a desert island, which five items would you choose to save from your shipwreck and why?

The children first had to independently think of their five items and justify why they would keep them.

Popular items proved to be: a magnifying glass, a tent, a quilt, an axe and a dog! If you stop and ask Year 5 they’ll tell you why đŸ˜€
