RECEPTION PIRATE DAY
On Monday the Reception children turned into pirates for the
day. Chicks and Ducklings started our day with a Pirate Calyp-
so session where we sang lots of pirate songs. They read 'Piz-
za for Pirates' and decided that they had better make pizzas in
case they needed to scare a sea monster away. Fortunately,
the children were able to eat them up themselves and thought
they were delicious.
Children brought in treasure to fill our treasure chest with 5p
coins. It costs 5p to send a bottle of water to a child in Syria
and Reception managed to collect 280 5p coins. Thank you!
