The main theme was the voyages of the pirate Rudobrody. Fifty-four children took part in the activity and were divided into crews. The crews completed tasks according to clues read out by the teachers leading the event. Their main task was to find treasures hidden around the school grounds. The treasure chests contained certificates, chocolate bars shaped like gold ingots and lollipops. After completing all the tasks, the tired crews went to the school cafeteria, where pizza was waiting for them. The greatest attractions of the gathering were spending the night at the school and watching the film “Lasse and Maia’s Detective Agency”.
