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.
