Year 3 and 4 took part in ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day’ on Wednesday. The children participated in a number of ‘Pirate’ themed activities based on Literacy, Maths, Problem Solving and Drama. These included a Reader’s Theatre, learning pirate vocabulary such as landlubber, shiver me timbers, me hearties, booty and Jolly Roger and a treasure hunt based on a number of riddles that the children had to decipher,  6 tokens had to be found and handed into the Captain and her first mate in order to receive the ‘treasure’. Pirate jokes were shared and many were made to ‘Walk The Plank!' A great deal of fun was had by all including Captain Crispin, Captain Marsh and first Mate Farley. The day finished with a pirate cake and cupcakes that were made by Will Robinson’s grandmother. They were absolutely amazing and we were all incredibly grateful.
