On our last day of Pirate camp, we focused on buried treasure. We sang "Oh, Where, Oh, Where has my treasure gone. Oh, Where, Oh, Where can it be? With coins of Gold from long ago, Oh, Where, Oh, Where can it be?" (singing voice, steady beat)
At one point, we pretended to dig for buried treasure (creativity, pretend play). Here's what our pirates found:
Pirate Jack - 10 Wiggles DVD's
Pirate Brayden - a treasure chest and a lion
Pirate Brady - gold & dinosaurs
Pirate Aidan - a house
Pirate Elijah - big heavy treasure
Pirate Cooper - three live triceratop dinosaur
Pirate John - biggest playground with a big, big, house
Pirate Benson - treasure
Pirate Eli - dinosaur
Pirate Riley - chipmunks
I'm so proud to say that our group of pirates learned the parts of the Galleon ship this week! They did a great job naming them during circle time. (literacy, language)
We pretended to sing and "build me a boat" using lollipop drums. (steady beat)
Our craft was decorating a treasure chest and then filling it with "gold" and other bits of treasure. The pictures tell the story! This craft was a big, big hit! (fine motor skills, creativity, art)
Special thanks to Pirate Jack for sharing his favorite Pirate Book, "How I Became a Pirate" with the group. We read it during story time.
We pretended to "sail" at night with twinkle lights while moving in our bilibos. (physical coordination, balance, cooperative play)
As we brought out last day of camp to a close, we asked the Pirates about their favorite part of camp. Here is what we learned:
Pirate Jack - singing "Build Me a Boat"
Pirate Brayden - getting the treasure candy
Pirate Brady - hunting for treasure
Pirate Aidan - musical baseball
Pirate Elijah - making crafts
Pirate Cooper - musical baseball
Pirate John - craft time
Pirate Benson - musical baseball
Pirate Eli - treasure chest with candy
Pirate Riley - musical baseball
Thanks for sharing your Pirates with us this week! It was a wonderful adventure for all of us!
