The Pirates Next Door Week 3 Welcome to

The Pirates Next Door Week 3 Welcome to week 3 of the new book The Pirates Next Door. This week we are going to continue to explore the book together. This is the last week of our Summer Adventure together on board our Year 1 Ship.

Monday What we are going to learn today: English I can link what I read or hear read to my own experiences. I can write a sentence/sentences independently and be able to read them back to myself and another person. I can use punctuation in a sentence.

Monday • Open up the Pirates Next Door Power. Point • Reread the story so far together. • What can you remember before you start?

Monday Continued • Read slides 26 -29 together

Monday Continued • Where do you think the pirates are going? • What do think they are going to leave behind? • How do you know what they are going to leave is nice? • What words tell you that? • Are there any clues in the pictures? • How do you think Matilda and Jim feel? • How are they going to keep in contact and still be friends? • How are they going to send messages to each other?

Monday Continued • If you are apart from your friends and family it is really important to stay in touch, especially if they are far away. This is what has happened to all of us this year. • Can you write a message to put in a bottle? You could save this to give to friends or family later on. Or you could send a message to your family or friends at school. We could post your messages on Tapestry or our Year 1 website for your friends to see if you would like to. • Remember to put a capital letter at the beginning of the sentence and a punctuation mark at the end. This could be a full stop, a question mark if you are asking a question, or an exclamation mark if you have exciting news to share. Eg. I am on my pirate ship and I am sailing on the River Chet. What are you up to? I love being a pirate!

Tuesday What we are going to learn today: English I can link what I read or hear read to my own experiences. I can explore text and pictures independently. History/DT I can explore the lives of significant individuals in the past. I can design a pirate treasure map.

Tuesday • Open the book Power. Point. Talk about the story so far. • Read slides 30 -33 together.

Tuesday Continued • What has happened? • Why is there a cross on every lawn? • Why has everybody started digging? • What have they found? • Pirates Interesting Fact: very few pirates actually buried their treasure in real life as they often spent or invested the money immediately after leaving the ship. A very small number of pirates did bury their treasure to keep it safe from other people but there was always the danger that others could find it! Can you create a treasure map today? You could hide some treasure in your home or garden (with permission) and get another family member to find it using your map! Best of luck me hearties!
