Blackbones Saves the School布莱克博恩拯救学校
Part 1
It was the first day of term at Abbey Park School. Class 4 sat in the neat rows. They sat up straight. Nobody talked or picked their no. The Head, Miss Lupin, had told them to wait quietly for their new teacher.
Suddenly the door flew open. The new teacher strode in .He had a black patch over one eye and a sword at his belt. His beard hung in thick dark curls.
‘Ahoy, mates! The name’s Blackbones , Captain Blackbones!’ he bellowed.
Blackbones sat down on top of his desk. He kicked off his black boots, showing a hole in one sock.
Class 4 gasped as he pulled out his sword—and ud it to sharpen a pencil.
He pointed at Yasmin.
‘You, matey, what lesson is it’
‘Plea Captain, geography.’
Blackbones stroked his beard.
‘ Ge-og-ruffy. Never heard of it. We’ll start with Art.’
Lessons began. They painted a skull and crossbones on the classroom door. With their rulers, they practiced sword fighting.
Blackbones winked. ‘Now you looks like proper pirates. Let’s sail for the a.’
‘The a’s miles away,’ said Adrian.
‘And Miss Lupin doesn’t let us go on trips,’ said Yasmin.
Tara had an idea.
‘What about the school swimming pool’
‘Just the job! Set sail for the swimming pool!’ roared Blackbones. He was enjoying himlf. Teaching was far more fun than he’d expected
Miss Lupin was in the swimming pool with Class 3 when the door burst open.
‘Captain Blackbones…!’ she began. But it was too late. Blackbones ordered his pirates forward. ‘Enemy ahoy!’
Miss Lupin watched in horror as the pirates of Class 4 charged past her. They didn’t even stop to change into their swimsuits. They jumped straight into the pool yelling, ‘Yo ho ho!’
Class 3 threw rubber rings at the pirates. The pirates threw back plastic floats. Blackbones was everywhere, waving his sword and shouting orders. It was just like the good old days.

All of a sudden Miss lupin’s whistle split the air. Most of Class 3 were up on the diving board. The pirates were about to make them walk the plank.
Blackbones pointed to his class .Rattle me cutlass, Miss lupin. Did I teach‘em well or not’
Miss Lupin turned to him with a face as black as thunder.
‘Get tho children down this minute!’ She ordered.‘And you, Captain ,I want to e you in my office right away.’
Blackbones spent all afternoon in Miss Lupin’s office. When he came back he threw his hat on the floor.
‘Barnacles!’ he muttered.
Tara and Yasmin had waited behind to e him.“What happened What did Miss Lupin say ” they asked.
‘I’ve got to go ,shipmates,’ said Blackbones sadly .
‘You mean Miss Lupin has sacked you After only one day ’
The girls couldn’t believe it
Blackbones sighed.‘ I guess I’m no u as a teacher.’
‘You’re the best teacher we’ve ever had ,’said Yasmin.
Blackbones put on his hat.
‘Kind of you to say so ,maties . But I’ve got to go by the end of the week ,right after the school fair.’
Tara and Yasmin walked away sadly .If only they hadn’t fought Class 3 in the swimming pool. Now Blackbones was going .And they would never get a teacher like him again.
As they pasd Miss Lupin’s office they heard voices inside.‘We need ￡10,000—and that’s just to mend the roof!’ sighed Miss Lupin .
‘This school was started by my Great Aunt Amelia. It’s been here two hundred years. Now I’ll have to clo it down .’
‘Maybe the school fair will go well this year ’ said Miss Punter ,the games teacher.
Miss Lupin shook her head .‘It will take a miracle to make ￡10,000.’
The two girls were listening outside Tara grabbed Yasmin’s arm .‘That’s it!’She said .‘That’s how we’ll save the captain!’
Next day Tara explained her idea to the rest of Class 4.
All they needed was a way to make ￡10,000 at the school fair. The school would be saved. And Miss Lupin would be so plead, she w普法宣传的内容
ould give Blackbones back his job.
‘We could ll cakes .I can them in cookery.’ said Fiona .
‘Your cakes are like lumps of rock,’ said Mungo .
‘Let’s kidnap Miss Lupin .We could demand ￡10,000 t her free,’ said Adrian .
But no one could e anyone paying 10p for Miss Lupin , let alone ￡10,000.
Blackbones looked up. He was mending the hole in his sock.
‘Tea and cakes are for old folk,’ he said ‘Give me the a breeze in my hair and a treasure map in my hand. That’s the life for a pirate.’
