What jobs would a Pirate do?
Take a look at the job descriptions below. Which job would you like to do on board a pirate ship?
You could take it in turns with an adult to carry out an interview. This is where the Captain would ask you lots of questions to see if you would be good at the job.
Science
Pirates love treasure! Why not grow your own precious crystals? You don't even need to bury this treasure to keep it safe because you can eat them! Don't forget to ask an adult to help you.
