This week there was great excitement in the nursery when the boys discovered that pirates had visited the garden through the night.  Inside a bottle from the bottom of the ocean the boys found a letter and a map, which had been left by the pirates.

The map gave us visual clues that led us to familiar landmarks in our environment.  The pirates had left numbers at each of the landmarks and those numbers led us into the school forest.

We were so excited to finally find an ‘X’ marked on the ground with cutlasses.  The boys worked hard to dig and dig and they eventually found a treasure box buried underground.  To our surprise, the pirates had left the boys some treasure to take home.

This was part of our pirate topic this term.  We have been learning about numbers, our environment, expressive languages, drama, problem solving, teamwork and being safe in our community.
