Pirate Day!

We enjoyed an action packed Monday with lots of fun pirate activities. Everyone looked fabulous in their pirate costumes, and a great day was had by all. In the morning, we used mash cams and introduced our pirate name and skills; maths brought a fun pirate treasure hunt where they had to solve arithmetic questions and crack the code.

After lunch, the children enjoyed activities outdoors using PE equipment to walk the plank and fire cannons! Finally, we finished the day by drinking pirate grog (squash!), eating hardtack biscuits and dancing to sea shanties in the beautiful sunshine! A wonderful day that the children have enjoyed writing about this week too. 

















































Breaking news! Mrs Lewis shrunk Hedgehogs class!

This morning, we used the magic shrinking spray to shrink to the size of a minibeast! We used this to help us imagine what it would be like to live in their microhabitat. This was so much fun, and great inspiration for our writing.



We climbed trees...


We made beds from leaves....







We discovered minibeasts! A worm that looked like a giant, scary snake!




We played hide and seek in the bushes....



We hid behind trees....



Balanced on small leaves...


Met friends on a log....

Faye even found a new hat!




We sheltered from the rain...

 We played stuck in the mud...


 We went surfing on a leaf...

  What an exhausting morning! We all needed a well earned rest.
