Plundering Pirates
Over three hundred years ago, pirates
sailed the seas and robbed other sailors of their
riches. Pirates went in search for and stole
money, jewellery and food to survive.
Ships were really large and made of wood.
The living areas for the pirates were small,
cramped and very smelly. There were no showers
or baths on board. The pirates were extremely
dirty and smelt awful. Many suffered from a disease called
scurvy because of poor hygiene levels. The captain would
decide on the rules for the ship. Any shipmate who
disobeyed would be punished by being asked to ‘walk the
plank’.
Pirates would love to get drunk on rum and sing sea
shanties. They liked to play cards even though there were
sometimes violent endings to these games if people lost.
Pirates were rationed for the quantities they could
eat. Salt meat was popular as it would take longer to decay. Fresh foods would
rot too quickly because they didn’t have fridges. Biscuits,
alcohol and other dry foods would make up their main diet.
Every pirate had daily duties like climbing the
rigging, raising the sails, and navigating the ship. Some would
be on the ‘look-out’ in the crow’s nest for passing ships to
attack. Others would be scrubbing the deck, bailing out
the waste from the lower deck and squeezing boils.
Did you know that every pirate ship had a cat to scare away the rats on
board?
Did you realise that all pirates
were given a pirate name that was
related to their appearance,
personality or real name?

Can you locate RNLI stations on a map? Use the map of UK below and plot the following
RNLI stations on the blank UK map:
• Aberdeen Lifeboat Centre
• Hastings Lifeboat Centre
• Plymouth Lifeboat Station
• Whitehaven Lifeboat Station
• Portsmouth Lifeboat Station
• Brighton Lifeboat Station
• Blackpool Lifeboat Station

What do you know about famous pirates? Use the research sheet below to help you
create a mind map about a chosen famous pirate. Write their name in the centre of the
mind map and record interesting information about them around the outside. We will be
using this information to help us write a non-chronological report about famous pirates
next week, so make sure you record as much information as possible!
Topic - Science – Thursday
Now that we know about the human lifecycle, can you complete animal lifecycles for a
frog and a butterfly? How are they the same and how do they differ from the human
lifecycle?
Watch these videos https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zxcmp39 and
https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/science-ks1-animal-life-cycles/zrg9kmn
to help you learn about animal lifecycles. Perhaps you could challenge yourself by
writing sentences to explain what happens at each stage of the cycle. How are the
animals changing and growing? What is happening to them?
lCan you locate the RNLI stations on this map of the UK?
Use the information below and the mind map template to help you make a mind map about
famous pirates.
