We had pirate activities to choose from like the toy pirate set, pirate pictures, creating pirate things with the construction, designing pirate maps and using the computers to play Jake and the Neverland Pirate games.

Arrrrrahhhhh...he he!

 Towards the end of Discovery Time we got together with our friends and created our own pirate ship using chairs, we swam in the sea, read maps, "arrrrrr-ed" and "aye ayed captains" te he.  We made Ms Olney so proud with how we were able to work together so well by co-operating and negotiating.

This is the start of amazing pirate adventure!

Apparently pirates like to high five too!

We used the chairs to move our ship around the class...

Maps are very important when you are on a pirate adventure

This term we have been looking at our inquiry...

"It's a beautiful world...why or why not!"  

We shared our ideas about what beauty was...

We had some wonderful ideas, we made Ms Olney's heart melt!

We looked in some National Geographic Magazines and found pictures and described why we thought they were beautiful. 

We had some very thoughtful ideas!

Check out Creative Creations Page, we made some BEAUTIFUL flower pictures using pastels.  We could only choose a few colours, we then had to blend the colours using mutton cloth to make the flowers look more natural.
