YOUNGSTERS at Penketh South Primary spent the day pretending to sail the high seas with their guide Captain Dan Tastic.

As part of their new topic the children dressed up and learned about the history of pirates as well as the different type of ships they sailed when hunting for treasure.

They also learned about the skull and crossbones flag flown by pirate boats.

Afterwards the crew enjoyed a magic show and had a pirate-themed feast including cupcakes and treasure chest treats.
