This is our building, in the TSS Preparatory school. Our class is on the bottom left hand side of this photo. I'm hiding in this photo (my Dad took it). Can you find me?

Thursday June 15th, 2006 is Pirate Day for the Prep boys at TSS! Our parents have been very busy getting our costumes ready and our teachers have also been busy preparing for a wonderful day. We will be receiving passports so that we can explore all the islands outside (photo's, treasure hunts, cannon construction, periscope painting etc). We are so lucky.

Here are all the Prep teachers about to embark on a big pirate day. Be careful with that cutlass Mrs Joss!

We really like having our group photo's and today we are in our pirate costumes ready for a really busy day.

A couple of the taller pirates from Prep J (hey, I think those are a couple of the dads). They look like they are very happy to join in our pirate day (maybe they have been sampling some of the rum rations?)

Our class is so lucky as we have wonderful teachers. They do so much for us. Mrs Joss and Mrs Philp know so much. We all hope that we are as caring and knowlegeable as them when we grow up.

I decided to do some cliff climbing practice in the playground, just in case I needed to scale any during the pirate show this afternoon.

Kobi demonstrating the fine art of pirate swordsmanship, whilst wearing an eye patch (making depth perception very tough - how do these pirates do it?)

After lunch we went to Pearce Theatre where Pirate Phil (captain Jellybean) and his trusty crew put on a wonderful show for us.

As part of the show, we got to sing the songs we had learnt this term.

Once the ship had landed, 3 of the crew had to row ashore as part of the treasure hunt.

Mr Philp kept visiting our pirate extravaganza during the day. He wanted to check on all the pirate and wench costumes (one in particular).

The adults that helped us (including our wonderful teachers) had a really fun day too!

Winter time at TSS! The Prep J boys looked so smart in their uniforms today. What a great chance to take a photo. Steve is determined to get a photo where none of the boys are pulling a face (this could be his biggest challenge for 2006).
