Pirates!

National Curriculum

In literacy we will be studying and writing about pirate characters,

settings and pirate stories as well as writing our own.

As mathematicians alongside our usual curriculum work we will

explore maths through the context of pirates e.g. treasure maps and

co-ordinates.

As scientists we will be investigating materials including floating and

sinking. We will also be looking into forces.

As historians we will be studying the history of piracy including

famous pirates.

As geographers we will be using maps to investigate where pirates

came from and where they operated.

In Design & Technology we will be designing and making pirate ships.

As artists we will be studying seascapes and creating pirate portraits.

In Music we will be singing sea shanties and investigating music from

the Caribbean.

In ICT we will be exploring PowerPoint and creating our own about

pirates.

Later in the term we will be doing a pirate week which will include a

visit from a real pirate!
