Homework - Pirate limericks
Please spend time this week reading and
enjoying the limericks on pirates below.
Discuss with the children the two famous pirates Anne Bonny and
BlackBeard (notes attached) and make some notes about them in the children’s
treasury. Use the internet to research
further notes if you wish. If you feel
like being creative have a go at writing a short limerick about one of the
famous pirates. Have fun and remember the more talk the better!
There was an old pirate
called Billy
Who liked to wear
shirts that were frilly
He’d walk round the
ship
With his hand on his
hip
But the crew thought he
looked rather silly!
There was an old pirate
called Jack
Who fancied a bit of a
snack
He caught a big fish
But he sighed “How I wish
That instead I could
have a Big Mac!”
There was an old pirate
called Frank
Who went for a sail in
a tank
He found it could cope
Round the Cape of Good Hope
But just off Madagascar
There is an old pirate
called Justin
Who keeps the place shipshape
by dustin’
He’s a glorious mover
When he pushes the Hoover
But the state of his
washing’s disgustin’!
There was an old pirate
called Jake
Who adopted a young
rattlesnake
When it coiled round
his leg
He would swear and then
beg
And if that failed, he’d
give it a shake!
