Yesterday we used our Reading Strategies and our partner skills to find out pirate facts. There were 12 facts hidden around the classroom, which we had to find and summarise. We recorded them on a sheet and at the end, we took part in a quiz to see how much we’d learned. We had to decide if something was a myth or the truth. If it was the truth, we shouted, “Aye, Jim lad!” and if it was a myth, we shouted, “Never me hearties!” in our best pirate voices.

After our topic work, we had some time at Play to Learn where some of the boys had us all in stitches, when they became 4 grannies who were off to the bingo!
