Pirates Took Over Room 7

On Monday the 19th of April Room 6 and 7 had a pirate day. The pirate day was for the inquiry, pod thinking. First Rooms 6 and 7 did individual activities, Room 7 did a long treasure hunt around the entire school.

After we had all had morning tea we all did a little bit of maths and just before lunch, Room 7 quietly walked over to Room 6 for a pirate party. Room 6 was full of delicious food! There were some donuts, muffins, strawberries with chocolate sauce and lots of chocolate coated biscuits. After lunch the two rooms played a game called 'Pass the Parrot (it was so much fun.) As more people got out it became much harder for the people who were still in!

A few minutes later the two classes ran down to the field to play a few more games. The first game we played was a game where you had to steal some gold on the opponents ship and then take it back to your own ship without being tagged, but if you were tagged you had to sit down until someone from your team came to save you.

The last games we played were where the teachers would throw a water bomb in the air in a certain area. If it was coming towards you, you shouted "mine," then you caught it and you won! Unfortunately no one won, but I sure did have fun. Then we played a game called 'Captains Coming.' It's pretty simple all you have to do is listen then do what the caller says.

I think everyone had a lot of fun doing the pirate day. I really hope that we get to do something as fun as that again!
