Year 2 had a fantastic day pretending to be pirates, crossing the choppy seas and avoiding Blankbeard and other pirates. Captain Ward took them on an adventure where they had so much fun.
They made trick dice, pirate pockets, ink to draw a treasure map, flags and necklaces.
The children went on a treasure hunt to find the hidden treasure and discovered a surprise- it was not gold or jewels as they were expecting!
Captain Ward also took them to a Pirate Bootcamp where they had to work really hard to convince him to make them part of his crew! The children had to set up cannons, cross a smelly swamp, learn semiphore and improve their accuracy at aiming.
Back in class, the children have been putting their writing skills to the test and using what they know about pirates to write recounts and diary entries. Parents will be able to see all the pirate work when they visit on Open Evening.
