Ship ahoy! There is a ship on the horizon but you need to check if it is your arch enemy Pirate Piggle Wiggle, or your

pirate pals! Today you will need a telescope!

Walk the plank!

How about backwards? Hopping?

How many different ways can you walk the plank?

PIRATE TREASURE

Make a wanted poster for yourself; you are a pirate, after all!

Think about your features, hair colour, height, etc. Why are you wanted? What have you done? How much is the reward?

Who is looking for you?

To make a telescope, follow these instructions: You will need 2 cardboard tubes of different diameters, paper, foil, felt pens and glue.

1. Decorate the narrowest cardboard tube by covering with a sheet of black card. Glue it in

Position and trim off any overhanging card with scissors. 2. Next, cover the second tube decorate the second tube and secure in the same way. 3. Fit the smallest tube inside the larger tube. 4. Take a selection of card and cut it into thin strips. Use the strips to decorate the ends of the tubes.

Once you’ve checked out the ship you need to get its attention but you will need to write a secret

message in pirate code!
