The Dolphins started the year with a new topic all about Pirates where they had a treasure hunt and had to find out who the mystery pirate was and what he looked like.

After creating Wanted posters and writing descriptions about the pirate, the mystery pirate came into school. His name was Captain Blackdog. He recruited the whole class onto his fleet of ships following their fantastic writing about pirate jobs.

The children then tasted different pirate foods including hard tack, sauerkraut, lentil soup and types of beans. There were some mixed reactions! The children then went onto do some writing about pirate food.
