Pirate play

After a shower of rain in the Forest our little cherubs decided a plank was needed to cross the ‘swamp’. This quickly developed into some fantastic creative outdoor play about pirates!

Our Preschool group have been using the knot book and some guidance from Miss Rianne and Miss Beth to create their own swords. They created their own list of rules for using the swords, such as, ‘you can only hit sticks not people’ and ‘if your friend is sad they don’t want to play anymore’. This allowed them to set their own realistic boundaries for their play.

Next session they want to paint pirate faces on the trees so will be mixing their own paint from natural herbs
