Does X mark the spot?

This half term, children in year 1 and 2 have been pondering the question, ‘Does X mark the spot?’. They have been exploring the topic of pirates and with it, learning about the continents and oceans of the world, as well the counties and capital cities of the UK.  On Thursday after lunch, the children were stunned to discover that a cannon had been left in Rowan Class! An investigation was about to be held, but before that could commence, none other than the mighty Captain Blood Finger, terror of the high seas, appeared from the art cupboard! 

He had hoped to find some new crew members for his ship, but was happy to stay and answer questions about his pirate life. The captain was very impressed by the treasure maps he saw in the classroom (hopefully he didn’t see where the treasure was buried) and left the children with some booty to share.
