Pirates came to Bendarroch Park in Garelochhead recently. Pupils took their learning outdoors when P3/2 class teacher Jane Allan worked in partnership with parent Katherine Price to bring learning to life!  Pupils had worked in co-operative groups in class to use a variety of skills including map reading, problem solving and literacy.  To round off their term’s work, they completed their Pirate topic with a Treasure Hunt.  This was organised by Dr. Price, our school Parent Council Chair who has a very keen interest in the local environment.She devised a map to help test their problem solving skills. Pupils had to break the code to uncover the treasure.
More excitement is anticipated soon when the class will visit a pirate ship in Glasgow. There they will have an opportunity to climb aboard, learn to dress and talk like a pirate, and enjoy pirate songs.
