Pirate Polly - Discovery time

Room 7 pirates

Discovery time this week had a pirate theme.
Children could choose to make a treasure map, make a pirates hat and decorate it, build a pirate ship with blocks, read some pirate books or colour-in some pirate themed pictures.
We focused on the NZC Key competencies of managing self and relating to others, this meant the children had to work together, share equipment, and persevere to complete tasks.

Over the last two weeks we have been writing about Pirate Polly. We were introduced to her through the illustration below.  

We worked on some shared writing and then our own writing.


First we described Pirate Polly, then we wrote about why we thought she was so happy, then we imagined the adventures she had been on.


Our writing is now displayed in the classroom
