Ahoy matey!

The boys decided that this is a magic box. When you come out, you're a different person! Out of this box this week we've had dinosaurs, dragons, snakes and tigers!

However, Reception have been spent most of the week enjoying thinking about (and acting like) pirates! We thought about what we could turn our role play corner into this week and how we could do it. We shared ideas and discussed with talking partners what we would need. Zack thoughtfully and politely said that he thought the idea of turning it into a dragon's cave with treasure in was a great idea! Reception said they wanted a treasure chest and would need some pirate costumes... and look what Mrs Curnow found in the cupboard! Aren't nice surprises GREAT!

 

Aharrrr!

  

My mermaid name is 'Emily'!

Say hello to Captain Hook!

We love making treasure in the creative corner and then making treasure maps for our friends to follow around the classroom.

Isabelle wrote the areas of the room on her map and led her friends on a hunt for the treasure she had made. What fantastic sounding out of the words! Her friends enjoyed reading her writing.

Is the treasure buried in the sand?!

This pirate captain had lots of treasure to find. 'X marks the spot!'

Where, oh, where could it be?

Go from the ship to the treasure. Could it be in the Maths area? Adam asked Harry to show him how to draw a treasure map - good teamwork, boys!

Jay made a treasure island palm tree and a frog using the play dough. The man is the person who looks after them.

Jay also made a very long crocodile with a baby crocodile on its back. Everyone has been so amazing at writing their own labels for their work this week!

Watch out! Here comes the water!

Land ahoy! What fun in the pirate ship! We went for sailing until we found a beach! One person found treasure- a sword and bow to fight the dragon with! We are good pirates!

Shiver me timbers! Vampire pirates!

Look! The water's blue and so is the shark!

I wonder our little pirates going to get up to next?!
