Based on information from the National Maritime Museum's website with images.
Who were pirates, what did they do, how did they live and what can we learn to make ourselves better people?
A great fully animated PowerPoint to introduce the main parts of a pirate ship and to explain their purpose (the preview of the PowewrPoint may look muddled because the animations are layered. Watch the PowerPoint in full screen and watch the magic happen! There is a pirate ship word bank included in this pack and pictures of a pirate ship for children to stick in their books to label (or why not print them on stickers).
A four week Talk for Writing unit based on the popular tale: The Night Pirates. Children will learn the model text and work towards writing their own version of the story where their character goes on an adventure with some rough, tough girl pirates! Lots of short burst tasks based around adjectives, adverbs and conjunctions etc…
Comes with 4 weeks of Power Points, a model text and a copy of the box up grid I have used throughout the unit- all are easily editable to suit the needs of your class and many of the slides are useful for screen shotting and printing for use in books.
For the innovation stage there are small chunks of the model text as bookmarks and highlighted with areas for the children to consider changing.
Many slides also include either an oral starter or a SATs style starter question.
A fun, festive, variant on the popular Pirate Game. The rules can be found for The Pirate Game online but let me know if you cannot find them.
I hope you enjoy this resource, I know kids love playing this game multiple times.
Let me know what you think.
An introduction lesson to 'Pirates'.
This is a lesson with a series of chunked tasks to introduce piracy to pupils or this could be used as a fun one off lesson.
You do not need exercise books for this lesson. All videos have link provided or are embedded.
Find out where the pirate treasure is buried by decoding the words using a coordinate grid with letters on. The interactive Powerpoint contains: recapping coordinates, a full set of clues (that can be printed and worked through) and of course - the answer! As an extension, why not ask the children to write to a friend or Captain Blackbeard himself!
