2 Minute Task!

What happened when we

met the pirates?

• They was a boat with fisherman rowing their boat

“laboriously” across the river.

• They weren’t very good – their oars kept getting

tangled!

• One of them accidentally hit one of his friends with

his oar, who turned around and punched him

back!

• One fell out of the boat and the crocodiles looked

up – what a funny situation it was!

Think about what other details we could include about the encounter.

How did you do?

What other details might you include?

• They asked if you wanted to cross the river.

• Rambashi offered to take you across the river in their

“River Taxi”!

• They stopped in the middle of the river and tried to steal

all your money – they had handkerchiefs on their faces

and daggers in their hands.

• Are they smart pirates, or silly men who can’t even row a

boat straight – how would they be able to rob you?
