Not quite there yet...

We've had a busy week since my last post, lots of the usual Star Wars Maths, Star Wars sudoku (a real hit), writing etc..  We've started writing a story about how Luke becomes a Jedi.
Planning has also started on the Dagobah model.

But this Thursday (19th Sept) is International talk like a pirate day, so I thought we could use this as a little diversion to learn a bit about pirates and do some cool crafts.

Most of these are quite time consuming because of waiting for paint/glue to dry, so we are doing a little everyday to get things ready for a pirate party on Thursday.

So far we have started making a cutlass, a hook, a treasure chest, coins and have started 'ageing' some paper so we can make cool old looking treasure maps.  We're also looking at how pirates talked, what they looked like and a little bit of the history.

Hopefully there will be photos of these later in the week of some of the above - assuming they ever dry that is..!
