A Pirates Adventures

Once upon a time there was an old homeless pirate that had just a ship. He loves sailing around the seven seas. One day a man said to the pirate "Would you like to come and do some tricks at my fair?"
The pirate asked, "What kind of tricks?"
"Just come with me," said the man.
So the pirate went with him to the fair. When they got there the man showed the pirate the wonderful and interesting tricks. The pirate was then escorted to his large, plain room.

The night finally arrived when the pirate had to perform his tricks. He had been practising for months and couldn't wait to show off his amazing tricks.

When he went out onto the stage and did some of his tricks the crowd went wild with excitement. Unfortunately half-way through his performance, a spaceship flew down and landed right smack bang in the middle of his show. The pirate was suddenly faced with 10 green men from outer space...

Come back next time to read what happens to the pirate and the green men.

Favourite TV Show

Hi all, I just wanted to tell you about my favourite TV show.
My favourite show is Horrible Histories because it is funny and it tells you a lot of facts about historical things.
I learnt that the Tudor Money System was very complicated.
