Fantastic pirate show and workshop
We have just enjoyed another fantastic pirate show and workshop. This is the second year that we have booked Chris to visit our school as Captain Barnacle, and just as last year, he did not disappoint.
The humorous pirate show kickstarted our pirate day brilliantly. The children (and adults!) were all thoroughly entertained and it was a fantastic way to learn some pirate terminology. Cont'd... Louise Cook. Summerlea Community school
Cont'd... After a quick break, we then attended the pirate workshop where Chris shared a wealth of pirate information through his huge collection of artefacts and pictures. The children, just as last year, were all completely engaged as Chris delivers the workshop with such humour and enthusiasm. They will never forget their teacher having a sword fight with Captain Barnacle!
Thank you Chris - we are looking forward to having you back again next year! Louise Cook. Summerlea Community School
School Pirate Day
Captain Barnacle visited us for a fun filled pirate day this week and what a fantastic way to start our topic! The children were enthralled by Captain Barnacle's performance and loved joining in with his show. They learnt an enormous amount from the pirate workshop and they are all so eager to continue our pirate topic. Pirate Workshop, with Pirate Panto Performance

Children in my daughter's class are still talking about it one month on. Worth every penny and more. Thank you for a very memorable, happy day.
