Ahoy me hearties!

This week, The crew of Robins and Wrens boarded the good ship Silverhill and set sail with Maggot Tom for a pirate adventure! We learnt all about the parts of the ship, including port and starboard and had a look at some 'hard tack' aka ships' biscuits. We decided we wanted to keep our teeth, so we didn't try them.  We were all dressed to impress with eyepatches, cutlasses and even a parrot! Captain Smith and Captain Turner were in charge of us scurvy sea dogs while we played lots of games including shark attack, and we finished the day with a sword fight and a pirate story. We loved meeting a real life pirate and asking him lots of questions, including how he got his name: Maggot Tom. Taraaarrrrrrrrgghhh for now!
