All our Topic activities and classroom enhancements have been based on this theme and we have had a marvellous time! On Monday we came to school to see a Pirate ship had docked in our outside area and WANTED posters for Captain Pink Beard had been put up around the school... it got us thinking that there might be some treasure hidden somewhere! Throughout the week we spent time making our own ships, treasure maps, telescopes and pirate hats. We have written about what we'd look like if we were Pirates and on Friday we got to experience our very own Pirate Day! We dressed up as real pirates and before we knew it a message from Captain Pink Beard made it's way to us... this is where our hunt for her treasure began! We searched the school and clues led us to a puzzle, we were able to crack the code and the treasure (and a very familiar looking Captain Pink Beard) revealed itself to us, it was the most delicious treasure we could have asked for.
