FSC | Primary Nature Live | A Peep at Ponds - YouTube This is a live session provided by the Field Studies Council. Please join us on their YouTube channel to take part in this session. I have attached the resources that accompany this session to today’s blog post. 

3. English

1. The writing task this week is to create a poem about the workhouse that will be put into a whole class book for our reading corner.  Please watch my Learning Video: Victorian Workhouse Poems before you begin.  The link is:

Then look carefully at the copies of the two poems that I have read to you and read them out loud.  Put a ring or underline and label any words or phrases that are examples of a simile, metaphor, alliteration, onomatopoeia, adverb or adjective.  Also look at your ‘Life in the Workhouse’ story and Chapters 4 and 5 of Street Child to give you examples of key vocabulary to use. Now you will be ready to draft your own poem.  What will your title be? 

Make sure your handwriting is neat and your letters are correctly joined. Please see below as a reminder of how to form and join your letters.

2. For your ‘Talk for Writing’ activity please complete page 11 ‘Design your school’.

Please remember to read independently for 40 minutes!  When you log onto Purple Mash you will see that I have given you an e-book to read ‘Ollie and the Great Stink’.  You have until after half term to read Chapters 1 and 2.

For your 30 minute Guided Reading Session I would like you to read Chapters 10 and 11 with your grown up as a paired reading activity.  Take turns and talk about any tricky words that you find and what you think they may mean, looking carefully at the sentence they are in.

Then click on #This is PE just below the screen on the left hand side.  You will then see the selection of lessons come up.  Click on Lesson 11 ‘Catching’.

2. Use this time to work on your project.  Thank you to those of you who have been sending me some of your project about your famous Victorian.  Remember to include illustrations and pictures.  You can either type or handwrite your project.
