Now then shipmates, when you’ve made your eye patch, ask a grown up to hide some treasure for you to find in your bedroom. Make the room dark and pretend you’re a pirate ‘below decks’.

Do you think that could be true?

Can you guess how much treasure can go on board before it sinks? Write down how much you think and then try it out. Were you right? Did your ship manage to stay afloat with all of the treasure on board?

Pirates marooned on a desert island would write a letter and send it over the ocean in a bottle, hoping somebody would find it and come and save them. What will you write on your message?

Interesting Pirate Fact: Many pirates had parrots as pets. There was not much space on board the ship for animals but parrots were pretty, entertaining and could be taught to speak. The pirates often got them on the islands they visited and sold them when they got back to land.
