50pence? Can you put the coins in order from the least to the most?

Complete the coin recognition activities. Complete the White Rose money activities. Activity 1 –

recognising coins. Activity 2 – recognising notes. Activity 3 – how much do you have? Counting in 2s, 5s and 10s to see how much money there is.

Are You the Pirate Captain?On Espresso listen to the story ‘Are You the Pirate Captain?’ by Gareth P Jones.What do you think makes a good pirate captain? Draw a picture of the captain of your pirate ship and write a description of him/her. Remember to use some interesting adjectives. Try to think about how they look and how they behave.

This is a fun activity that you could play to help you. You can design your own pirate character on your laptop or tablet.

Activity 2Treasure Maps

Your new pirate captain has found a treasure map but they don’t know how to get the ship to the treasure and not crash onto skull rocks, get eaten by sharks or be captured by the sea monster. They have asked you to draw the route on the map and to write them instructions so they know how to get to the treasure.

Remember to use first, next, then, finally. Also try to include some directional language, e.g. around, between, next to.

Activity 3Message in a bottle

You safely steer the ship to the island and find the treasure. You find a glass bottle near the sea. Please could you write a message to your new teacher telling them all about yourself and post it to them in the glass bottle.(If you email it to Sharks or Turtles as well and we can ensure your new teacher gets it). Think about telling them if you have any brothers or sisters, if you have any pets, what you like to do in your spare time, what you are really good at. You might also like to tell them what your favourite food is. I am sure you can think of some more interesting things about yourself.

Activity 4Pirate adventures

https://central.espresso.co.uk/espresso/primary_uk/subject/module/video/item1117086/grade1/module1111868/index.html

Watch this short film about what it might be like to be a pirate. Imagine how rough the seas are, how big the ships are and think about the exciting places you might visit if you were

on the pirate ship. Can you think of an adventure that you might have?Before you start play this dice game. It will help you to think about where your story takes place, who is in it and what objects you have with you.

Activity 5Diary entry

As part of the topic on the ‘Fire of London’ you have been learning about diaries. As a pirate you have lots of different jobs to do. Choose one of the pirate job adverts. Imagine what it would be like to have your chosen job. Complete a diary insert, taking on the job role and character.

Please encourage your child to:Red Level – Write all of the sounds that they can hear in words and use ‘finger spaces’ to enable their writing to be read. Children working at this level may need you to support them with the task.Yellow Level – All of Red level, plus use capital letters for names and at the beginning of sentences. Children should use full stops correctly in their writing. Encourage joining ideas using ‘and’ within their sentences. Children should work mostly independently, but may need your support to read and improve their work.Green Level – Include all of Red and Yellow Levels, plus the use of connectives such as ‘because’, ‘but’ and ‘so’. Children

working at this level should be encouraged to use exciting vocabulary when describing the events in detail. They should also be working mostly independently on written tasks. Please encourage your child to read their work and check it thoroughly. Children should return to their work and make improvements.

English Reading

As your child moves into Year 2 they will start to do lots of reading comprehensions. They need to not only decode the text but also understand what they have read.There are 5 reading comprehensions attached. Choose the ones that are most suitable for your child. The first 3 are graded as step 1, step 2, step 3. The final 2 comprehensions are more challenging. An instruction leaflet has been included that briefly explains the significance of the Pawsome Dogs.

ScienceMaking a Pirate Ship.

Your challenge is to make a pirate ship.It is very important that pirate’s ships float.Can you explain what floating means?Do you know the word that is the opposite of floating?

The characters in the video are wanting to make a pirate ship. They start by finding out what happens when you put different objects into water.

You will need a bowl of water and a collection of different objects from around the house, e.g. a spoon, a toy car, a cup, a piece of paper, an apple.Can you predict what will happen when you put them into the water?Leave the objects in the water and go and do something. When you go back are all the objects in the same place? Can you explain what has happened?

Think which materials will be the best to make a pirate ship out of.

Use what you have found out to make your own pirate ship that floats.We would really like to see any photographs of your ships.

Geography
