A big\u00a0wooden box outdoors has provided the opportunity for great imaginative play recently and this week it has been transformed into a pirate ship. Once they realised that they could fit into the box, the children’s imagination took off and their play developed into the world of pirates.
\nThey decided that they needed a pirate flag and wanted to decorate the ship with “pirate signs”. Then, of course, they had to get the blue paint out to create a sea for their ship to sail on and treasure had to be found which led to treasure maps and lots of talk of “X marks the spot”. The children even used materials in the garden to add planks for the pirates to walk along. We hope that you enjoy these photos of the children showing great creativity and fantastic teamwork.<\/p>\n
