This week is our last week of learning about pirates. On Thursday we are having a treasure hunt! We are going to watch Treasure Island. We made a mini project on famous pirates. We learnt that Mary Read who was a pirate joined the army. We thought it was interesting that Mary was raised as a boy because her mother thought she would have a better life as a boy.

This is rather exciting for me.  This is the first time I have visited my blog.  I am hoping that when you visit this blog you will write a comment.
