Pirate Adventure

Last week the Year One Pirates pilled onto three ships that looked a bit like buses and travelled to the Corniche to have a Pirate Adventure.

We followed treasure maps to find Captain Pats treasure, we built sand castles that any pirate king or queen would be proud to live in, we filled containers with salty sea water, we paddled in the same waters the Pirate Pats sails his ship in and we ate ice-cream just like any good pirate would on a sunny beach day.  Then we had our lunch in the sun and played on the pirate ship before heading back as very sleepy pirates to school.

Thank you everyone who came along to our Pirate Adventure. We loved it!

Paint like a Pirate

Last week early one morning we picked up a t-shirt, grabbed a paint brush and pulled on an apron.

 

What were we going to do???

 

We were making Pirate T-Shirts! We were very creative and preserved because painting a pirate on a t-shirt isn't easy at all. Our mums, dads and nanny's came in to help us and we are super proud of our t-shirts. Thanks everyone for coming along to help us, we just love having our families in our classroom for DT mornings.

National Day in Sparrows

It was a wonderfull National Day in Sparrows. They all look wonderful in their red, green, white and black. The Sparrows learnt the seven Emirates song, were creative, did a quiz and drew some camels. Sparrows also enjoyed sharing all of the food Year One brought in to share with each other!

National Day in Larks

Larks had a wonderful National Day. We were creative in our classroom making hats, finger print painting flags, making flag hand prints, learning the Seven Emirates song, and making a great collage of Ras al Khaimah for our house competition. During the day we all talked about why we love the UAE and everything we have done here. Check out our photos below.
