We have been reading the story ‘The Pirate Cruncher’ which is all about a very greedy pirate who is on the hunt for treasure!

Throughout the week we have had signs that the pirates could be about as we found an x marks the spot on our new play equipment. We had to use positional language to describe where the treasure might be.

We then came into school Wednesday morning to find a letter from THE Captain Purplebeard!! We were all really excited about this and had a talk about what he might look like and why he was coming to visit us in our school!

It turns our he was a lovely, friendly pirate and answered all of our questions.

We have been so inspired by this story and have been creating maps, role playing pirates and writing letters to Purplebeard himself all week!

Come back soon Purplebeard!!
