We would like to say a very big thank you for working with us to support your child at home. We know that you have all had huge changes to adjust to. This document, as well as others on the school website, are a guide to home learning for Week 4 of Term 5. There are also videos on our school YouTube channel to accompany some of the activities. Links to these can be found on each document. If you are able to photograph or scan your child’s work, we would love to see what he or she has done. We have really enjoyed looking at all the learning we have received so far and this has allowed us to provide you and your children with feedback and advice. Please also get in touch with any questions regarding the activities set. Our email address is lemurs@bratton.wilts.sch.uk This Week • On the next pages are a range of activities based on our Topic learning for this term. • Each activity should take about 30-40 minutes. • Most of the activities are linked to our Pirates theme however, in Science the children will be learning about plants and our Design and Technology work is linked to food. • When you have finished a project please send any pictures to: lemurs@bratton.wilts.sch.uk . We are very excited to see your learning! History – Famous Pirates • For this session we are going to learn about some famous pirates. These were real pirates who sailed the seas during the ‘Golden Age of Piracy’. This was between 1650 – 1730, so 370 - 290 years ago! • The 4 famous pirates were: William Kidd Blackbeard Anne Bonney Black Bart • First, read the information about them on the next few pages. • Then, answer the questions based on what you have read. • Finally, choose one of these pirates and create a fact file about them. You can see Mrs Janman’s example on the last history page. Captain William Kidd Born: 1645, Dundee, Scotland Died: 23rd May 1701 by hanging Interesting Facts William Kidd was actually a wealthy and well respected privateer, protecting the British and American trade routes from French warships before he became a pirate. Kidd was very unlucky as he was forced into piracy by his unruly ship crew whilst on duty. It was also at this time that the American people became very intolerant of all pirates. This led to him being hanged when caught. Kidd was the only pirate known to have ever buried any treasure on Long Island, New York. It was thought that he did this in the hope of buying his way out of hanging! Captain Blackbeard Born: 1680 Died: 22nd November 1718. He was shot. Interesting Facts Anne Bonny Born: 8th March 1698 Died: 22nd April 1782 Interesting Facts Anne acted and dressed just like a male pirate and was excellent at fighting. Black Bart Born: 17th May 1682 Died: 10th February 1722 Interesting Facts He was born in South Wales as John Roberts and later adopted the name 'Bartholomew', or Black Bart, when he became a pirate. He was known to love expensive clothes and jewellery and was always well-dressed, even in battles! He was eventually killed by the British Government and his crew were put on trial in the biggest pirate trial in history! Pirate Questions What did William Kidd do before he became a pirate? Who was Anne Bonny the girlfriend of? How many times did Blackbeard marry? Who killed Black Bart? Pirate Fact File For an extra Pirate Name: Black Bart challenge please look on the next Real Name: John Roberts page. Born: 17th May 1682 Died: 10th February 1722 Country he was from: Wales Did you know? • He loved to fight wearing his best clothes and jewellery. • He was killed by the British Government. Extra fact that I have found out: • He was a pirate for less than 3 years but stole from over 400 ships! Pirate Fact File • Could you create a fact file about you as a pirate? • Here is an example for ‘Captain Jolly Green Pearl’. • On the next pages are some templates to help with this. Geography – Pirate Maps • This week we are going to create a pirate treasure map. • In your garden or house you could hide some ‘treasure’ and draw a map for someone in your family to find it. • Try to include the features of the place you are drawing. For example, some trees, the shed and the pond. This will make it easier to follow. • On the next pages are the steps Mrs Janman took when making her own treasure map. • Once you have made your map, see if a member of your family can use it to find the treasure. Making a Pirate Map First draw a map of your garden. Don’t forget to draw the X to mark the spot where your treasure can be found. Top tip: Use pen or press hard with your pencil as Mrs Janman’s map did not show up very clearly at the end. Making a Pirate Map Rip the edges to make it look older. Making a Pirate Map Use a damp teabag to stain your map. We would advise that you cover the surface you are using and wear plastic gloves to stop the tea from staining the work surface and your hands. Making a Pirate Map Scrunch the damp paper into a ball and leave to dry. Making a Pirate Map Smooth out your map once it is dry. It is now ready to use. Parental advice: •Our Art this week is to design a pirate flag. •Pirate flags did use imagery that was designed to shock and we advise you therefore look over the examples we have enclosed before starting the work. •Please read through the explanations for each symbol on a pirate flag on the next page. •If you would therefore prefer to leave this section out then please do not share this with your child. Art – Pirate Flags • This week we are learning about pirate flags. • Go through the examples on the next few pages to see the flags of some famous pirates. • Then have a go at designing your own pirate flag. Use the pirate symbols page to create a flag scary enough to terrify your enemies! Who did these flags belong to? Black Bart Blackbeard Christopher Thomas Tew Condent Christopher Moody Emanuel Wynne Henry Avery Calico Jack Edward England Captain Bonnet Mrs Janman (Jolly Green Pearl) Your Turn! Try using some of these symbols to create your own pirate flag. Science – Plant Life Cycles – In this lesson we are going to learn about the life cycle of a flowering plant. 1. Many plants grow out of seeds and bulbs. 2. Seeds grow roots and shoots. 3. Roots and shoots then grow leaves above ground. 4. Many plants make flowers. 5. Flowers make their own seeds. – We call this a life cycle. – There is a diagram to show this on the next page. – First, go through the next few pages. – Then, watch this BBC video and try the quiz: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zpxnyrd/articles/z2vdjxs – Finally, we would then like you to create your own flowering plant life cycle poster. Germination Seed Dispersal 1 Roots 5 Bean 2 Plant 4 3 Flowering Leaves 1. Germination The seed starts to grow when condition are suitable. 2. Roots Roots grow, usually underground. 3. Leaves A stem and leaves form, and the plant makes its own food (photosynthesis). 4. Flowering The pollen in the flowers is used to make seeds. 5. Seed Dispersal Seeds are spread out so they can grow where they are not fighting for space with the parent plant. Other Flowering Plants Sunflower Orchid Tomato plant Design and Technology – Cooking with fruit and vegetables • This week we are learning about cooking with a range of fruit and vegetables. • It is advised that we aim to eat at least 5 portions of fruit or vegetables each day. • Below are some fun recipe ideas using fruit or vegetables. On the next page you can see Mrs Janman’s fruit and vegetable dishes. Rainbow fruit skewers: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/rainbow- fruit-skewers Fruit salad http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/940/juicy-fruit-salad.aspx Basic fruit smoothie: http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/944/basic-fruit- smoothie.aspx Vegetable pizzas / wraps: https://twohealthykitchens.com/veggie-faces- no-bake-vegetable-pizzas-and-wraps/ Mrs Janman’s Fruit and Vegetable Dishes Raspberry and blueberry yoghurt. Ham, cheese, tomato and cucumber wrap. PE • We are going to continue to explore basic movements such as running, skipping and jumping. • Today we are going to play ‘Cross the Lagoon’. On the next page are instructions for this game. It would be easiest to play in your back garden. • Don’t forget to also join in with the Joe Wicks workouts. These can be viewed live every morning at 9am on his YouTube channel or previous workouts can be accessed at any time, also on YouTube. We have been enjoying doing these every morning at school! PE – Cross the Lagoon • Set up your space with two ends as the ‘land’ and the middle as the ‘water’. (You could use a skipping rope / towel to mark off where the land starts and finishes.) • Ask your child (pirate) to cross the lagoon by moving in different ways, e.g. walking, skipping, bunny hops, etc.

In this committee, we will be looking at the Golden Age of Piracy, a period of history that has captured the imaginations of writers and filmmakers for decades. People have long been enthralled by the swashbuckling tales of pirates, their fame multiplied by famous books and movies such as Treasure Island, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Peter Pan. But more often than not, these portrayals have been misrepresentations, leading to a multitude of inaccuracies regarding pirates and their lifestyle. This committee seeks to change this. In the late 1710s, nearly all pirates in the Caribbean operated out of the town of Nassau, on the Bahamian island of New Providence. From there, they ravaged shipping lanes and terrorized the Caribbean’s law-abiding citizens, striking fear even into the hearts of the world’s most powerful empires. Eventually, the British had enough, and sent a man to rectify the situation — Woodes Rogers. In just a short while, Rogers was able to oust most of the pirates from Nassau, converting it back into a lawful British colony.

  • Captain William Kidd
    Captain William Kidd Name: William Kidd. Born: Dundee, 1654. Occupation: Sea captain. Defending English and American trade routes First ship: Antigua. He emigrated to New York in the 1680’s. Married: Sarah Bradley Cox Oort, a wealthy widow. On 6 September 1696, Kidd and 150 crew members went to capture a pirate called Robert Culliford in the Indian Ocean. aboard the Adventure Galley. His crew took over his ship on the way. This is called mutiny. Kidd was forced to become a pirate himself. In 1698, Kidd and his crew attacked and took a ship: the cargo was silk, muslin, calico, sugar, opium, iron and salt peter and a worth rumoured to be £70,000 . The Quedah Merchant, renamed the Adventure Prize, was kept by Kidd, as he was forced to abandon and sink his now leaking ship. Being a pirate was now against the law in England and America but Kidd did not know this on his return to America in 1699. He buried the treasure on his way to Boston in Gardiner Island and Block Island. The New England governor, Lord Richard Bellomont, had him arrested on 7 July 1699 in Boston. He was sent to England in February 1700. The trial started on 8 May and was completed the next day – the verdict was that Kidd was guilty of the murder of one of his crew and guilty of multiple acts of piracy. Captain William Kidd was hanged on 23 May 1701. His corpse was left to rot at the Thames River as an example to other would-be pirates.

I will leave out nothing except the location of the island—for there is still treasure there. I go back in time to the 1700’s. This is when my father still ran the Admiral Benbow Inn. And this is the same year the old sailor came into the inn, carrying a battered old sea chest. He was a tall, rough-looking man, brown as a nut. His hands were scarred. Across one cheek was a jagged old scar from the slash of a sword. “Do many people come this way?” he asked. 5 Treasure Island_int.indd 5 4/12/10 9:12 AM Treasure IslaNd inspectionFor teachers' My father said, “No, very few.” That was true.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract During the first half of the twentieth century, the ethnically segmented Ottoman empire was transformed into a nation state of Turkish citizens. This thesis explores and evaluates the representation of ethnic minorities in Turkish fiction against a background of demographic, political, and social change. Within this context, novels and short stories of selected writers have been studied with a view to determining differences of experience, perception and attitude. The writers include: Huseyin Rahmi Giirpmar, Halide Edip Adivar, Re§at Nuri Guntekin, Halikarnas Bahk9isi, Orhan Kemal, Haldun Taner, Sait Faik, and Ya§ar Kemal. The thesis comprises an introduction, three chapters and a conclusion. The Introduction gives a brief overview of historical events relating to demographic changes and ethnic minority status, and looks at the popular perception of minorities in the Ottoman performance arts.
