This week our topic was ‘Pirates’. We started the week with many stories about Pirates for example, Pete the Pirate, Ten little Pirates. The children had a fabulous time playing pirates through all the dress up and role-play equipment provided.
They also made amazing pirate headbands and pirate masks. They then went on to make tea-stained maps, telescopes using toilet roll holders and pirate faces using paper plates. What an exciting week!
It was then off to get a little wet by walking on the plank through water during outside play thus developing their physical skills even further. Now we are real pirates off to sea.
The children explored a treasure hunt using equipment such as microscope, cameras, binoculars and a treasure map filled with directions to follow. We ended the week with some fun filled, lively Pirate songs that had loads of actions for us to do.
