Did you have a good World Book Day, shipmates?
Did you dress up as a book character? I went to school as Captain Blackheart. I
was very pleased with my costume. After school, I thought I’d pop back to 1706
and see the crew on the Sea Wolf but I forgot to change out of my costume. You
can imagine what happened. Harry Hopp had me on the rail, ready to throw to the
sharks before I managed to persuade him I wasn't Blackheart but Sam in disguise. Taking off the beard helped!

Pirate Battleships!
Ahoy Shipmates! It’s half term. What are you up to? Why not
play Pirate Battleships! You don’t even need a computer. Charlie and I played and then Fernando wanted
a go. He can’t read but he knew all his letters by the time he’d beaten me 3-2! You just need 2 pieces of paper, 2 pens and a friend.
On your piece of paper, make two grids, 11 squares by 12 squares. Get your
friend to do the same on their paper.
Call one grid My Pirate Fleet. Call the other one The
Enemy Fleet.
Then keeping them secret from each other fill in My Pirate
Fleet. This is how you do it.
You can have two Men O’War - 4 squares long, three galleons - 3 squares long, three sloops - 2 squares
long, four rowing boats - 1 square only. You can decide where to put them.

Now the battle can begin!
Take it in turns to call out a position. So if your friend
says A1 tell him ‘miss’ and mark it on ‘My Pirate Fleet’ with a tick. But if
your friend says A9 tell him ‘hit’ and mark it with a X.
Don’t forget to mark on ‘The Enemy Fleet’ any position you
call out and mark
any square where you hit your enemy.
The first one to sink all the other one’s ships is the winner. Good
luck, shipmates!
