Atticus Van Tasticus inspired students from Riana Primary School in Tasmania to create their own pirate descriptions as part of a collaborative story, which was featured in The Land this week as part of the Littlescribe partnership.
Year 4, 5 and 6 students created new characters, drew maps and designed their ideal ship! See an extract of their 80 page book above, or click here to read the full version.
Riana's surrounded by water, cliffs, rivers and students blend imagination with their knowledge.
Discover your favourite character from Captain Olympia, Mr Sniffles, Thistle Toe or perhaps Side Kick Kill, every page a pirate ready for you to meet.
The pirate descriptions featured here are by Lucy Radcliff, Hayley Haines, Lachlan Reardon and Mikaelah King.
