Children at Waterside Primary School in Hythe have been learning to become the rst ‘positive pirates’ with the help of a local author. Positive pirates understand what the most valuable ‘treasures’ in life are; they know they are not possessions that need to be taken from others, hidden away, or held onto, rather they are skills or qualities that you may already have, or can develop, and they are most valuable when they are used and shared with others. Working closely with author, Share D’All, children in years 3 – 6 at the school have been using the book ‘Positive Pirates’ to better understand the true value of key qualities and behaviours such as responsibility, reasoning, re ection, resilience, resourcefulness, and become a team, they discover that using the treasures together can have even more of an impact, nally demonstrating this in their own hometown by helping the townsfolk use them to solve a problem that has echoes in today’s world. e children love the characters who not only bring the ‘treasures’ to life, but also have to overcome di culties together which mirror challenges that young people today also experience; this provides plenty for discussion and learning. “I really enjoy the positive pirate stories. The characters are interesting because they all have their own skill or treasure. This helps them work as a team together. Talking about the treasures helps me to be a good learner.” (Year 4) “I like it when we listen to the pirate stories because I like hearing what is going to happen next. Sometimes in class we try to guess what might happen as the story goes on. My favourite character is Dante. He is a positive pirate who is resilient. We have to try and be resilient in school when things go wrong or there is a problem. I think the story is really well written and I like all the description and detail. It helps me to imagine the characters.” (Year 5) “I like the stories Share has written. All of the characters have special treasures, and this makes them unique. They share their treasures and become a good team. When we talk about the stories after assembly, we think about how the treasures would help us in school. I am responsible and sometimes resilient, but not all the time. I have to work at it.” (Year 6) Share has also developed resources to support the concepts and themes in the books and there are plans to start using these with younger children next year. e rst book, ‘Positive Pirates’, is available to order from most book retailers online. aspiring and have been looking at how they can be developed, used, and shared to make life and the world they live in better. Headteacher Emma Moakes said “We have been thrilled with the opportunities for learning the book has provided. Each assembly is followed with an in-class discussion supported by question ideas and prompts. The children are able to link the characters and their experiences to school and their own lives and learning. I have been really impressed with how the children have listened and responded to the stories. The positive pirates and their treasures have become an important part of our learning vocabulary and feature in every aspect of our curriculum. Children aspire to being ‘like’ the positive pirates, sharing their important treasures and we have found ways to make this relevant to all year groups throughout the school”. e book, set over 200 years ago when not-so-positive pirates still sailed the seas, is the rst in a series. It follows a group of young people who join forces to turn the idea of pirates and treasure upside down. ey join the team by sharing what their treasure is and explaining how it has helped them improve their own life in very practical ways. en, once they Waterside Primary School pupils with author Share D’All SUMMER PLATE On 14th July a rather reduced eld of 24 New Forest Golf Club Seniors turned out for a singles strokeplay competition o the white tees.
