The theme was ‘pirates’ and the girls had to create a den resembling a pirate galleon in which they would also bed down for the night.

For 24 hours they all met over Zoom - accompanied by mums and dads - and took on a series of pirate-related challenges in their own homes. Highlights included pirate bingo, a sing-along, flag making, a treasure hunt, boat building and moon compass making.
