We've folded hats, measured out metres with our palms and soles, measured our classroom items, glued one metre string pictures, and finally, today, we drew a pirate ship to scale from Captain Bloods plans. It was six metres long, and had a one metre plank. It had three masts - the mizzen mast was three metres tall, and the fore and aft masts were each two metres tall. We decorated the sails and flew the Jolly Roger!
We even had a pirate sports day - we walked the plank to find out how far we could jump into the deep blue sea (even Miss Driver got pushed!), rolled cannonballs along the deck, and threw our disgusting dinners of mouldy fishheads and seaweed stew! Summer and Keanu jumped the furthest, Deanne and Ella C threw their dinner the furthest, and Summer rolled a cannon ball eight metres!
