I’ve was doing some work last Friday as part of a course and we discussed Pirate websites as part of the resources linked to the books we were talking about – Kensuke’s Kingdom being one of them.  Matt mentioned the ‘Talk like a Pirate Day‘ and that there was a pirate translator on the web.  What a great idea with the children if you are looking at pirates or books with them in.  Here’s a few of the links I’ve found which might be useful!
