I looked on You Tube for pirate christmas carol an found Rusty Cutlass playing We Wish You A Pirate Christmas.

I hope you had the chance to dress up.
You can probably guess what I dressed up as. (Well without the wig).

I have mentioned before that my son's school's nickname and logo is the 'pirates'. So for talk like a pirate day the whole school even teachers (and the attached pre-school) dressed up as pirates. It was really worth seeing and they did take a photo where they were being pirates (not the usual look at the camera and smile). Sadly it looks as if will not be online.

Also on the subject of the school, I would like to congratulate them, as next week the are celebrating their fiftieth birthday. They are even in possession of a birthday letter from Prince Philip at Buckingham Palace. Way to go guys keep up enjoying yourselves.

Ahoy there my hearties, it be talk like a pirate day today. Is anyone else joining in?

Although International Talk Like A Pirate Day is Saturday, several companies, schools etc are being pirates tomorrow. So to help you here are some phrases that might help you be a pirate too.

Saturday 19th September is International Talk Like A Pirate Day (every year). Please see www.talklikeapirate.com, http://www.wikihow.com/Talk-Like-a-Pirate and www.yarr.org.uk/talk for more information. I have listed out some phrases that might help under our pirates section. You are welcome to write a post for this blog in pirate talk, just send it via the squeak page. Being land locked at the moment, my son has even found a song for us, go and read the Last Saskatchewan Pirate Lyrics. His school's nick name is the pirates and so are celebrating it on the Friday.
