Pirate ship homework

Now that Rhiannon is in Year 1, she has a weekly homework assignment. Last week her homework was to build a pirate ship out of previously used materials. So we started with a milk carton and carved it up, then put in wine bottle corks for the cannons and she painted the hull lots of pretty colors. Rhiannon started out intending it to be a Wedding Pirate Ship but I don't know if it ended that way.
In the end she had a really great looking pirate ship which incorporated plenty of gold spraypaint and a real little pirate figure -- "Pelle" from our Kaptain Sabeltann days in Norway. I don't have a photo of the final product and now it is in the pirate ship fleet in Rhiannon's classroom. I think she enjoyed building it though.
