Ahoy There! Shh!!!




During the last few weeks the children have really enjoyed our topic about Pirates. They have designed and built their own Pirate ship and treasure island, written comic strips, a pirate shopping list, letters and a Pirate diary. The children have also been learning how to create treasure maps and use a programmable robot called Bee Bot to find treasure!

Next Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on the weather, we are planning a Pirate Party for the children, but keeping it a secret from them until last minute! We will take the children for a walk into the garden to send their letter back to Pirate Percy Patch, there they will stumble upon an old treasure map. The children will have to use their mapping skills to find the hidden treasure, which will be the party!
The children have made pirate hats and telescopes in school, so there is no need to send in costumes. We will provide fruit, biscuits, cakes and drinks for the party, however, a donation of 50p will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
