Treasure Hunt! (#2)







Everyone got to take home some of the booty on the last day, so if you haven't gotten your share, we have more. Everyone got 3 pieces of gold to take home.

Our pirate shanty:
"Soon we'll be in England town,
Heave me lads, heave ho.
To see the king with the golden crown,
Heave me lads, heave ho. 
Heave ho, on we go, 
Heave me lads, heave ho."


Also a quick reminder that Creative Minds has a private Facebook group called 'Creative Minds Community'. If you're on FB, I can add you or you can find it easily too by the search function.
