Year 1
Term 6 Week 3: 15th – 19th June
This week’s topic: Pirates
Dear Parents & Carers,
We hope that you enjoyed learning about Africa last week. We have loved receiving your e-mails with photographs
and examples of your work – well done! You can continue to send pictures of your work to us through the school
email address: admin@dalmain.lewisham.sch.uk and make sure you include FAO Miss Grant or Miss Rowse in the
subject.
This week, we have produced a Year 1 plan around the theme of Pirates. This is one of our most popular themes and
we are thrilled to offer you and your children the opportunity to learn more about this topic. You will find daily
activities with resources available, either as links on the plan, as well as on the school website. As in previous weeks,
we have included links to Phonics website phonicsplay.co.uk – for some activities you may have to sign in, in which
case use the free membership username ‘march20’ and password ‘home’. Continue to log on to SumDog for Maths
and Grammar activities each week.
Engaging our children in discussions about the world around us is an essential part of learning at Dalmain. Children
are actively encouraged to participate in meaningful dialogue where they express their feelings and share their
concerns. Following the coverage of the recent demonstrations, your children might have become anxious or may be
asking questions. To support any discussions, we have included a few child-friendly video clips that you may wish to
use when addressing questions of race and equality. We hope that you find these useful but should you require
further support, please do not hesitate to contact us via the school email address.
Your pack includes:
▪ Open ended project ideas and research topics
▪ Activities to explore independently or together
▪ Daily maths lessons
▪ Daily phonics lessons (10-15 minutes long)
▪ Games to play
▪ Ideas for science experiments
▪ Art and craft ideas
▪ Links to other learning resources

#blacklives There are a lot of important conversations taking place right now about race and equality.
matter This is a great opportunity to inspire the next generation to help to improve the situation
and make the world a much fairer place for everyone. Watch this short video clip of Elmo
and his dad as they discuss the current situation in America in a child-friendly way.

There have been many people in history who have stood
up against racism and protested about the unfairness of
not being treated equally. One person who started the
fight to ensure fair opportunities for all was Rosa Parks.
You can find out more about Rosa’s story by watching the
‘Little People, Big Dreams’ story being read here on
YouTube.
Rosa Parks – Little People Big Dreams
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCcSsjkQe9s
How did you feel after you listened to Rosa’s story?
How would you feel if every time you got on a bus you
had to move seats or stand up for someone else to sit down?
Things have changed since Rosa’s story but more still needs to be done.
Twinkl have produced a presentation about the International day for the elimination of
racial discrimination. It is aimed at Key Stage 2 children, but it might still be worth sharing
with your child, taking a break when they ask questions and discussing the content.

You have learnt so much about pirates this week – but how
many other facts can you find out? You could use child-
friendly search engines like kidtopia.org or kiddle.co to find
some more interesting facts about pirates. Start by thinking
and writing down your own set of research questions.
Once you have all the information, you could make a poster,
fact file, or presentation to display your new knowledge!
Maybe you could video call a friend or relative and share your learning?

Hey, ho me hearties! Start off your day by singing the ‘Hello song’ warm-up that we sing at
Music
school
https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/music-ks1-sun-sea-song-index/zr4x2sg
Can you remember how to show the high and low notes using your hands when you are singing
the song?
Sing this to someone in your family and ask them to sing it back to you.
The word in music for the high and low sounds is ‘Pitch’
BBC Pirate songs: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/primary-school-songs-
pirates/zjpgvk7
Sing along to these songs. Try tapping the steady beat when you are singing.
Can you make up some new words to the song ‘When I was one?’
For example: ‘When I was one, I ate a bun’, ‘When I was two, I sneezed: ‘’atishoo!’’
Draw some pictures of the new verses that you have made up.
‘Swashbuckle cheer’: https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/cbeebies-prom-swashbuckle
At the end of the song why not finish off with a swashbuckler cheer!
BBC Sun, Sea and Sand: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/music-ks1-sun-sea-song-
index/zr4x2sg
Join Nigel Pilkington and Suki - the ship's monkey - as they set sail in search of buried
treasure...and enjoy plenty of songs along the way!
There are seven songs about the sea. How many can you learn? Do you know any of them
already?
At the end of each section there is a listening activity for you to enjoy.
‘The Seahawk’ by Erich Korngold: CBBs Pirate Prom:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/cbeebies-prom-gem-pirates
Listen to this piece of music all about a ship sailing on the sea. Pretend that you are in the pirate
ship riding the waves and climbing the rigging. The pirates in this piece of music are called the
‘Seahawks’.
How many different instruments in the orchestra can you name?
Can you hear the trumpets, the violins, the drums and the flutes?
Can you dance around the room pretending to be the ship on the big waves?
P.E. Dance
Each week, you will be provided with a dance lesson from Trinity Laban. There will be a new video
each week with a different theme. All you have to do is click on the link and use the password
provided by the school (sent via ParentMail) to access the video. Have fun!

KIDS PIRATE GAMES you can play outside with your family or friends
MUTINY!
This is one of the best pirate games, in my opinion. It needs to be played outdoors or in a large
indoor space. The little pirates are all given swords (either foam or inflatable) and they must race
to capture the captain. Every time the Captain is touched with the sword they must stand in the
spot until they give away some of their booty (candy) to be released. The game is played until the
Captain runs out of candy. This game is also known as the human piñata.
The captain can be played by you or you can enlist a member of your family (for a bonus have
them dress up a little).
WALK THE PLANK / PIRATE DUEL
For younger children a simple task to walk across the plank without losing balance is a fun
challenge.
For this pirate game you will need a plank which you can make yourself with a long board. You
don’t need to have it far off the ground (you don’t want any injuries) but you can prop it off the
ground a little with milk crates, old tires, etc. Just make sure it is sturdy enough for the kids to
stand on without wobbling.
For those children who need a bit more of a challenge you can include the element of a pirate
duel. Any self-respecting pirate will know how to wield a sword, especially in desperate situations.
Two pirate participants, armed with swords, step onto the plank and duel while maintaining their
balance. The person to stay on the longest is the winner, and the next two pirates take their turns.
You can make your own swords from those long balloons used for balloon animals, pool noodles,
or using a cardboard tube roll.
Extra fun
Easy Spyglass Telescope Craft
Make this spyglass telescope and you will be the first to discover the new world from your make
believe perch in the crowsnest of the Santa Maria or spot pirates roaming the seven seas.
Materials:
• Paper tube (paper towel or gift wrap)
• Construction paper
• sellotape
• Optional: plastic wrap
• Optional: stickers for decorating
Instructions:
• Optional: Take a small square of plastic wrap and cover one end of the paper tube. Secure
the plastic wrap with tape. This is the glass lens for your spyglass. Don't worry if it is not
neat because you will be covering the edges of the plastic wrap in the next step.
• Cover the outside of your paper tube with construction paper. (You choose the
colours) Add a narrow strip of yellow around the end that has the glass (plastic wrap).
• Optional: You may like to decorate your spyglass with stickers.
Pirate Ship Collage
Here's what you'll need...
• Construction paper
• 3 craft sticks
• White paper
• Cheerios
• Glue
• ScissorsHere's how you make it...
1. To make the ocean and sky you will need to cut a small strip of
dark blue paper onto the bottom of the light blue piece of paper
(you'll have to prepare this ahead of time for younger children).
Trace and cut out the boat and sail shapes from the template.
Have the kids glue the boat into the ocean.
2. Make two slits in each sail. One at the top and one at the
bottom. Slide the craft stick in and out of the slits so that the
sails stay in place. Younger children can just glue the sails on
top of the craft sticks.
3. Glue the sails in place on the boat. Glue 3-4 Cheerios on the boat as windows, and now your
Pirate Ship Collage is complete!
Another option is to add cotton ball clouds onto your scene, just pull them apart a little
and glue them on.
Pirate's Treasure Chest Craft
Materials:
• empty Kleenex box
• black and yellow construction paper
• printer
• scissors
• glue,
• something to colour with
Instructions:
• Cover the Kleenex box with black construction paper (all sides). Use enough glue that
when we slit open the top the paper will stick.
• Using sharp scissors, have an adult cut around 3 sides of the kleenex box, about an inch
from the top (so the treasure chest opens). You will need to bend the cardboard back on
the remaining, attached side so the chest opens and closes nicely.
• Glue a piece of yellow or red construction paper, felt or tissue paper to the inside of the
"lid" and chest (so it looks like a nice velvety lining)
• Now comes the fun part! Print out the template of choice.
• Colour the pieces, as necessary and cut them out
• Glue the KEEP OUT warning onto the top (lid) of the chest
• Cut 1/2 inch strips from yellow construction paper and glue them to all the edges of the
treasure chest.
• Glue the lock onto the front of the chest• Glue the handles onto the sides of the chest.
• Optional: Glue sequins, fake jewels or painted rocks onto the lid for a jewel encrusted
treasure chest
• Fill with gold coins (chocolate ones are my favourite!You can also read
