Pirates
English & Phonics
Jolly Phonics song - Sing the song and do the actions for each sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qpn2839Kro
Practice mark making by writing in shaving foam, sand or paint. Practice these by starting with full body movements, stretching your arms up high and “going all the way down” and moving your arms across your body.
Cutting skills (see the PDF below)
Pencil control sheet (See the PDF below)
Suggested stories;
Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFu0i6rEEeM (See ALD board below) Use the ALD board to talk about who is in the story and what you can see. Maybe you can use the board to communicate what you think will happen next. Maybe talk with your family about who their favourite character from the story is. Make choices about which parts of the story you like or dislike.
Think back to world book day when we did this story in class. Can you remember which character you dressed up as? Can you remember what others in class dressed up as? We acted out parts of the story in class- can you try and act out some at home? (for example hopping across the lily pads as frogs, or digging for buried treasure)
Jake’s first day at school (pdf)
Penguins make bad pirates https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usMEVqz4CrU
Pirate of the year https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/swashbuckle-pirate-of-the-year-story
Pirates love underpants https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QCQJEmSado
Pirate Pete https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4pn-LWYZVg
Do you have any stories about pirates at home? If you do, maybe you can share a story with family. Remember to look closely at the page. What can you see? What is happening? Can you hear it from the words or see it in the pictures?
Maths
Practice your maths skills by working through some of the activities in the maths activity book (see PDF below). Some of the activities may be quite tricky- I wonder how far through the book you can get!
Use numicon number shapes (See PDF below) to arrange numbers onto the pirate hat. Look at what each numicon represents. Can you recognise “how many”? Can you find the same?
Practice writing some numbers. Top tip, if you place the worksheets into a plastic wallet you can use the sheet like a whiteboard and rub the writing out and try again. (See number formation booklet PDF below)
Can you find the shapes hiding in the pirate picture? See if you can find circles, squares and rectangles. (See Spot the shape PDF below)
Science
Maybe you can make “Exploding” treasure chests https://fun-a-day.com/pirate-science-fun-exploding-treasure-chests/ it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a treasure chest mould- ice cube trays work just as well. Explore finding different objects. Discuss what you have found. Maybe you can sort objects after revealing them, by colour or material.
If you have a magnet at home, try searching for magnetic pirate treasure. Explore different objects around the house. Can you find any that “stick to” the magnet? What are these objects called? What materials are these objects made from? Can you make a prediction (a good guess) about whether an object will be magnetic or not? (See the Pirate science experiments PDF below)
Make Sensory tubs https://fun-a-day.com/sensory-pirate-activities/ explore and search inside. What can you find? What have the pirates buried? Can you bury an object for someone in your family to find? Can you think about different ways that you can get the objects out? What tools can you use?
Here’s a recipe for making Gold slime https://fun-a-day.com/super-easy-gold-slime-recipe/ I can’t wait to have a try making this!
Computing
Keeping safe online is very important. Here is the link to the new activity pack and video guide. https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/?utm_source=Thinkuknow&utm_campaign=d422803b43-TUK_ONLINE_SAFETY_AT_HOME_16_06_20&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0b54505554-d422803b43-64861053)
Why not try playing some games on the computer or tablet to develop your computing skills. These games will help you to practice skills such as using a mouse, accurate use of a touchscreen and communicating your ICT preferences.

Pirates were at sea for a long time. To stop themselves feeling bored whilst they were sailing, they used to sing songs called Sea Shanties. Here are some popular songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CuyLbC2TZo Do you like the music? Can you hear all the pirates joining in? Which piece of music was your favourite. You can join in with the music, by tapping your foot, clapping your hands, dancing, or maybe by tapping spoons or a drum.
Can you find any objects around the house that you can use as instruments i.e. spoons, pots, pans or tubs etc.?
Art
Every good pirate ship has a flag called the Jolly Roger, maybe you design your own ship flag (See PDF below)
