Last Wednesday we had a special Pirate day and were nasty Pirates! We came to school in our best Pirate outfits including lots of eye patches and skull bandanas!
'On the way to school I was so excited because I love learning about Pirates' - Oliver.
At the start of the day we had an assembly but we were very shocked when a real Pirate walked into the hall! Captain Burwash told us all about famous Pirates like Blackbeard and about why he was wearing the clothes he was. We listened to him tell us all about how he was trying to steal a ship in Hull. He even set us a challenge to make a scary flag for his ship and a wanted poster to hire a crew.
After the assembly we went back to our classroom and we worked in groups to complete the challenges.
'On our flag we put lots of fire coming out of the skulls mouth to scare other Pirate ships when they see it' - Liyana.
Captain Burwash visited our classroom and showed us all of his Pirate weapons like guns, swords, axes and grenades. We got to stand at the front and hold his sword whilst he told us about how they use them and why. Did you know that if a Pirate jumped on another boat and got too close to another Pirate they would hit them on the top of their head with the bottom of the sword handle!
We really enjoyed Pirate day because we got to know lots of Pirate secrets and we learnt lots of scary things.
