Year 2 had a fantastic trip into town to visit The Golden Hinde to learn more about what life was like for pirates. The children uncovered the history of pirates from Ancient Egypt to the present day with an amazing interactive map, then got a taste of the pirate’s life with a guided, hands-on exploration of The Golden Hinde.
The costumed educators brought history to life with replica handling sessions and role-play as the pupils were immersed in the unique environment of the amazing galleon.
