Find out how big the Golden Hind was.

The Golden Hind was 21m long. Go into the playground and measure out this length. Now mark the plan of the ship using chalk, or mark it with chairs, boxes or cones.

Next, everyone in your class stand inside and try to do things, like putting up sails and steering.

On the real Golden Hind there were 60 men and 20 crew - about three times your class!

This tight squeeze was helped by the fact that the ship had several watches, with some crew sleeping while others were on deck.

Sir Francis Drake was the only person who had a proper bed.
