Our new topic in Acorns is ‘On the Beach’. This week we explored some seaside themed resources, and really enjoyed looking at stories about pirates, such as ‘Pirates Love Underpants’ and ‘The Pirates Next Door’.

We decided to set up a pirate ship role play area, so have been using books and online resources to find ideas for props, which we have then been making ourselves.

We can’t wait to keep adding to the area, and have had great fun playing in it so far. We even set up a ‘plank’ outside, so we can make any pirate enemies ‘walk the plank’!
