Avast Ye!
It is a pirates theme in the nursery. We have been making some amazing parrots and designing our own treasure maps. We all discussed how we could transform our role play area into a pirate ship. We have made the front of our ship from cardboard boxes, a large steering wheel for our captain to stand at the helm and some anchors for when we want to hunt for treasure. Some of us have been lucky to find sparkly gems hidden in the sandtray. Jake and the Neverland Pirates has been a popular game on the Smartboard, where we have helped Jake and his crew find treasure.
In literacy time we have explored the ‘p’ sound- pirate, princesses, pig, pork chop and pizza were some of the suggestions. We used our floorbook to talk about and draw pictures of things that start with ‘p’. Some children noticed that a ‘p’ could look like a ‘d’ if we turn our heads. Our young buccaneers will investigate more next week.
