We began the day by taking a photograph of our wonderful costumes! The children all took it in turns to talk about their costume to their friends at the front of the class.
We went on to the playground to play a pirate listening game. The children had to listen out for different commands (port, starboard, bow, stern, man overboard, sharks in the water, climbing the rigging) and respond accordingly. They got quite tired!
All of the children made a pirate map, painting their maps with tea and scrunching them up to look old. Then they marked different features on their map, ready to hide some treasure (marking their chosen treasure spot with an X).
A beautiful example of a precious flag.
The children had to follow the clues and find the treasure (a small chocolate treat for snack!)
We also enjoyed playing pirate musical bumps and making our own pirate flags (depicting things that are really important to us).
