Pirates Ahoy!

Our children have really enjoyed our Pirate theme.
Through this theme we have focused on the skills of solving number problems, being able to talk about how we are the same and different to our friends and family, and joining different materials in a variety of ways.

We have loved using our new Maths resource Numicon for solving maths problems including matching, counting, halving, doubling, adding and taking away.

Making our treasure chests choosing which materials are the best for joining.


 
 Making treasure maps using tea bags to make our maps look old and adding our own features.
 
Pirate role play and making up our own stories.
