P2/3 Pirates!

8th May 2018

Our theme in P2/3 was Pirates.  The children were training to become pirates and used many skills to accomplish this. 

In Numeracy, they used co-ordinates to find buried treasure. The children also weighed and compared the treasure they found  We used BeeBot to direct the pirate to find the treasure.

During Literacy, the children wrote messages in a bottle and used codes to find and unravel clues.  They also found out about real pirates and famous fictional pirates. 

In World Around Us, the children were able to predict and carry out experiments to see what objects were able to float and sink. To achieve their pirate licence the children had to participate in many activities which also included learning sea shanties and speaking 'pirate language.'  They all passed with flying colours!
