Set up a treasure hunt in your indoor or outdoor space by providing a set of pictorial clues. Make the clues together by getting your child
to pick certain objects and draw them. As your child goes to each place in the pictures they can hunt for each clue. Prompt them to use
positional language (next to, under, above, inside, behind, in front) to explain where they need to go. Hide some treasure in the last place.
This could be a special snack, a new story to read or something special for your family.
There are five activities below which link in with our theme of ‘Pirates’ which we’ll continue to look at this week.
Feel free to complete them in any order you choose.

Curriculum
area
Suggested activity
Science Water survival
Foundation Stage 2 / KS1 – Watch this video about floating and sinking
https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/messy-goes-to-okido-why-do-things-sink-and-float Can
you investigate floating and sinking at home? You could use your bath, a sink or a bucket to place
objects in and see which ones float and which ones sink. Are there any similarities between the
objects that float and the ones that sink? Does all plastic float? What does wood do?
Now write a list of the objects that float and the ones that sink.
Year 3 / 4 – Design and create a boat that floats so that you can escape the island, which you’ve
been shipwrecked on. Test what materials you could use for the hull of the boat that are
waterproof. Think about the surface area of the hull and how to make sure your boat is buoyant.
How will you test your boat out?
Year 5 /6 - Design and create a raft which floats so that you can escape the island which you’ve
been shipwrecked on. Can you investigate to see how much weight your raft can hold before it
sinks? Can you investigate how the shape of your raft might affect how much weight it can hold?
History The life of a pirate
Foundation Stage 2 / KS1 – What was life like on board a pirate ship? Listen carefully to this
song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jx79dLuqPwQ What jobs did the pirate do?
Draw pictures of the different activities pirates do and write a sentence(s).
Year 3 / 4 – Can you research the meanings of the symbols that were displayed on pirate ship
flags? How would the pirates try to ‘fool’ other ships with their displayed flag? A good example
of this to start you off is notorious pirate Emmanuel Wynne.
Once you have done your research, can you design a pirate ship flag of your own?
Year 5 /6 – Edward Teach, who was better known as Blackbeard, was an infamous pirate who
controlled the Caribbean Sea in the 1700’s. What was life like for a pirate on board the ship?
Carry out your own research into what a pirate’s life was like; how did they survive at sea? What
did they eat? How did this affect their health? Watch this clip to get you started:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/watch/p00smdp2
Art Maps
Foundation Stage 2 / KS1 – Design a pirate ship flag – look at flags from around the world then
look at flags found on ships, especially pirate ships. Using the template, design a flag for a pirate
ship.
Year 3 / 4 – There is no evidence that pirates actually buried any treasure and no pirate maps
have ever actually been found…yet! Can you design your own treasure map complete with
geographical features such as mountains, quick sand and shark infested waters with a key to show
these? Can you write a set of instructions to go with your map that would lead the lucky finder of
this to a hidden hoard of treasure?
Year 5 /6 – There is no evidence that pirates actually buried any treasure and no pirate maps
have ever been found. Can you design your own treasure map, make sure to include a compass,
geographical features such as mountains and sea monsters! If you want, you could research to
find out what other myths there are around pirates.
R.E Key teachings
Foundation Stage 2 / KS1 – Find out about the story of Moses and the ten commandments. What
are the ten rules? Which one do you think is the most important one? Can you say why? Have a go
at writing your own set of ten rules for your house. What will be important?
Year 3 / 4 – We would like you to investigate the key teachings which influence the way both
Christians and Sikhs lead their lives. We would like you to create your own set of rules which
everyone could use and follow to help them lead a good life.
Year 5 /6 – We would like you to investigate the key teachings which influence the way both
Christians and Muslims lead their lives. We would like you to create your own set of rules which
everyone could use and follow to help them lead a good life.

Relationships
For all year groups: This week we’re thinking about ‘change.’ We would like you to focus on the
changes which you have noticed within our world, on a global scale, and how people have dealt with
them.
For example, how the levels of pollution in some cities/countries has decreased because of
Lockdown.
