BBC KS2 Music: Treasure Island

The story

Jim Hawkins - aged 12 - lives and works at the Admiral Benbow Inn on the Bristol Channel. One day an old sailor - Billy Bones - arrives looking for lodgings and before long other sailors arrive too, looking for him.

It turns out that Billy Bones has a map, the key to finding a lost treasure hoard in the Caribbean.

For Jim it is the start of the great adventure: he and his friends charter the Hispaniola and sail. But their crew includes a number of pirates including Long John Silver and soon he has control of the ship...

Jim joins his friends in the stockade but they are under attack. Late at night Jim slips away and rows out to the Hispaniola. He captures the ship - having killed one of the pirates on board - and hides it in a secluded bay. The song is full of surfing sounds.
