Talk Like a Pirate

Do pirates go out in the rain? 
That was a question that arose last Friday when we celebrated
Talk Like a Pirate day. 
It was pouring outside but the temperature was warm and there
was no wind.  Do we go or stay at school?
  
We had warned the families that yes we would we go regardless
of the weather.  So this was our test, “will we follow through?”.
   
Colleen, my co-planner from another StrongStart centre, and I
arrived early to set up.

 
    Then we waited to see if anyone would join us.
     
And they did.  We were impressed with how many came and
that they arrived dressed to get wet.
               
           Or prepared to stay dry.
   
 
 
We had a lot of fun being pirates, building boats, playing in
the water, searching for treasure.
 
To finish the morning, Captain Thunderpants joined us for a few songs. 
    
          What an awesome morning!
