tToday was an exciting day in Nursery – the final event in our Joint Active Learning Project with Primary 1 – our Big Pirate Party. We were all divided into our Pirate Crews – the Black Pearl, the Emerald Raider, the Fiery Parrot and the Golden Dawn. Two crews at a time went Treasure Hunting on the Island, and the other two crews took part in jolly pirate frollicks in the playground- playing Tug O’ War and Port and Starboard. The treasure hunters first had to look for their crew’s clues. These were jigsaw pieces hidden round the garden on their crew colours. We had to look very hard indeed to find all the parts of the jigsaw for our crew, on which the big clue was written.
The crew of the Golden Dawn had a yellow jigsaw to find.
As each piece was found we all helped to put the jigsaw together
Ollie read the clue – it told us the treasure could be found under the board walk. Joe was very quick to find it and bring it back to the rest of the crew
Wow- the treasure box was full of golden coins- chocolate ones – the very best kind of treasure!
Captain Maureen directs a fun game of Port and Starboard. Our favourite move was definitely “Captain’s Girlfriend!”
Eating our treasure!
Blackbeard Bannerman and Cutlass Queen Lynn- looking like a pair of salty seadogs!
The Black Pearl’s completed clue.
The Black Pearl’s crew had to dig between the rocks!
It was tough work, digging, but they finally hit something with their spades!
Mattie pulled out the treasure box – hygienically wrapped in a sealed plastic bag!!
The clue for the Fiery Parrot crew told them to look up above the stone squirrel. Theirs was a treasure nest in a tree!
The Emerald Raider’s treasure was found 3 paces from the willow tunnel, buried in the long grass! At last all the treasure had been found!
Ahar there me hearties!
