Year 1 Pirate Day

Year 1 students celebrated the end of their 'All Aboard' topic with a fun-filled, high-energy pirate school day. 

Pirate shanties were sang from the moment they walked into school, and students had a fantastic time making pirate flags, taking part in a pirate parade and even making some traditional pirate food, hard tac. The students enjoyed the hard tac more than expected and even asked for more! 

Students arrived to posters from the pirate asking for new crew mates. They thought about what characteristics a pirate needs, and then wrote a letter to the Captain to tell him 
why they thought they would be a good member of his crew.

They also had fun completing an obstacle course where they walked the plank, cleaned the deck and avoided sharks while island hopping. Thankfully the new pirate recruits successfully passed their challenges and graduated Pirate School, leaving with gold coins and their very own pirate certificate.
