Pirate Day

On Friday, Orla told me that tomorrow is Pirate Day at school, and they were to make pirate hats. The prize for the best hat was a scooter. Having heard absolutely nothing about this, I had to consider the possibility that she was making it up, although I didn't think so as she was very specific in the details, and consistent under questioning. So I asked on Facebook and it turned out to be true, although most of the other mums were unaware of it too and were somewhat dismayed to realise how little time they had to make hats. We made ours tonight out of a piece of card left over from the Hogwarts cake, so it is a chocolate brown pirate hat rather than black.
