Pirates!!!


AAAAAAAAARRGGH!
Today we went to the Arizona Science Center to learn about pirates. We made astrolabes, compasses, eye patches, sun dials, and wind vanes. Do you know why pirates wear eye patches? They wear them because one eye is already used to the dark, so when they go to the bottom of the ship it will be easy for them to see. We also had to learn how to tie knots. No "monkey fist" knots for us! Do you know what the new pirate movie is rated? ... It's rated AARRGGHH!
