Stonebroom Primary And Nursery School

As the children arrived at school, they walked the plank and tried to avoid being eaten by the crocodile! Once in school they learnt some pirate sayings including ‘Avast ye’ where they all stood to attention. In the morning they learnt all about the parts of a pirate ship and worked together to make their own ship in the hall. The children were fantastic at using key vocabulary such as mast, stern and rigging. They then looked at famous pirate portraits and used their ideas to create their own.. They used  sketching pencils and oil pastels. After lunch, it was pirate party time! They ate pirate ship hot dog boats, cheesy cannonballs, dead men fingers and peg legs. They played party games and won pirate prizes! To end the day, they watched the trailer of our pirate film- they can’t wait to see the full film after half term. What a fantastic day full of fun! Thank you to all the parents for your effort with their costumes. Take a look at some pictures below.
