Pirate Sleepover (Easter 2004)
|
In the Easter Holidays
of 2004
we had a pirate themed sleepover. |
|
Our sixes were the
parrots and the peg-legs.
We coloured a pirate to represent us on the Who's Who chart, and made
six badges.
|
|
Each six made a pirate flag
and negotiated a pirate code with their six captain.
Next we tested our pirate skills. We learnt
some whistle calls used onboard ship, and played a game using them. We
demonstrated our sword skills by bursting water balloons. We were
guided by our crew mates through "rocky waters".
We tested our ability to climb the rigging
and run from the King's soldiers on this obstacle course. We then
tested our aim by "bombing" ships.
Finally we demonstrated our skill with a
gun. Back indoors we made pirate ships which used special knots and
played a game which involved lying.
and pirate bandanas.
|
When everyone was ready
for bed, we had hot chocolate and a biscuit. Those who wanted to were
able to watch a children's film. They choose to watch The Little
Vampire.
At midnight, those who were awake had a midnight feast.
|
We made parrot finger puppets.
We used hama beads to make fridge magnets in the shape of a ship,
pirate or Jolly Roger flag.
We hunted for stolen medallions and solved their riddle.
|
Throughout
the sleepover we helped cook, lay the
table and wash up. We all gained our cooks badge and sleepover badge.

One of us was nine on
the Sunday - Happy Birthday!
