Ahoy me mateys!


Here are the members of our pirate crew.

Some of us wore pirate hats and said pirate chants as we set off on our adventure over the seas on our pirate ship.

 Treasure was hidden around the vast expanses of our playground and our determined pirates tracked it down.
 Our crew had the aid of telescopes and treasure maps
 The treasure was varied, to some it was a beautiful shell, or another pirate hat
 and to others it was digging up a pinecone.
 We didn't give up
 We thought carefully about where our treasure was hidden.
 Our friendly pirates enlisted friends to help
 No piece of sand was left unturned.
Finding treasure makes our pirates very happy
 Success was upon us.
We wrote treasure maps

 Treasure chests were emptied and refilled


 


 The 'X' marked the spot(s).

 We shared equipment, talked to our friends, took turns to lead the hunt, practiced early literacy skills in reading and writing maps, counted our pieces of treasure and used our imagination.  These group adventures take on excitement of their own as well.  Next time it has been suggested that we have "real" money as well as gold coins and necklaces to discover.  Sounds like a great idea.
