Pirates!

We are about to begin a mini topic on Pirates. We will be learning about some of the traditions of Pirates, reading some lovely stories including 'A New Home for a Pirate', role playing on our Pirate ship and making lots of exciting Pirate essentials such as hats, money bags, maps, parrots and of course treasure.

To make the most of the learning experiences the topic lends itself to I would be grateful for any dressing up costumes, old costume jewellery, Pirate storybooks or songs on CD or tape.

I would like the children to begin finding out about Pirates over the weekend. Use books or the internet, perhaps visit the library and then bring any information into school next week. It may be a picture of a pirate or a Pirate ship or a few lines describing what they do and the things associated with Pirates.

Enjoy finding out with your child!

Kindest regards

Mrs Burton-Little
