Shiver me timbers! It's Pirate Day in the Nursery!

 On Wednesday this week, we held a Pirate Day in Nursery. We all had the opportunity to dress up as pirates and learnt about the things that they might have said. Among other activities, we learnt a range of pirate themed songs and matched actions to those phrases in a listening game. 

Look at how much fun we had!

Nursery - Pirate Day

The nursery children came to school dressed up as pirates. They took part in various activities linked to our topic story 'Pizza for Pirates.'

They particularly enjoyed singing and dancing like pirates.

We made healthy vegetable pitta pirate pizzas, just like the pizza George offers the green sea monster.

We competed against each other in teams to gather the most treasure.  

Nursery - Walk the plank!

This week we have been making different types of pirate ships.

The children worked together to build a pirate ship using recycled materials and decorated it with various textured paper. They used props available in the classroom to become pirates, creating their own pirate adventures.

In Forest School we constructed a pirate ship, with a plank. 

The Captain told his crew to 'walk the plank.' 

Nursery - Treasure Hunt

 

We have been learning to follow instructions using positional language. Linked to our new topic book, 'Pizza for Pirates' we went on a treasure hunt in Forest School. We listened to the clue, thought where the next one could be hiding and worked together to find the clue. 

We found one under a flower pot and on the top of a tree. 

Eventually we found the Captain's treasure (tangerines), inside the wooden cabin. 

We all enjoyed eating our well deserved treasure.

Year 2 Aquarium Trip

Year 2 went to visit the London Aquarium as part of their Ocean topic. We were able to see lots of the creatures that call the ocean their home, including sharks and sea turtles! We were even able to touch a starfish and watch the stingrays being fed.

 

 

Year 2- Pirate Picnic

Year 2 have been writing instructions. We have been looking at the types of food that pirates would have eaten. We then decided on our own healthy pirate menu and wrote instructions on how to make the delicious food we chose. Using our instructions we then prepared and made the food for our very own Pirate Picnic.
