English home learning 8th June

Good morning!

I hope that you all enjoyed the weekend. There are new spellings and dictated sentences under the spelling tab along with a quiz on Purple Mash.

Here is a short video to help with your spellings this week:

 

 

This week we are going to focus on poetry based on our Bubble theme

 

I have set a ‘2do’ on Purple Mash called ‘Light Words’. you have to think of as many alternative words (synonyms) as you can.

This week we’re going to look at special sorts of poems, called ‘Shape poems’.

Can you guess why they might be called Shape poems?

By the end of this work you will be able to

  • use exciting, describing words (adjectives, verbs and adverbs)

  • to write your very own poem.

Today I would like you to read and think about a range of different ‘Bubble’ poems:

This poem is called Bubbles by Cathy Cronin, Art by Robin Boyer

A magic wand and secret potion … Dip it gently in slow motion … Take a breath and softly blow; Chase the bubbles high and low!

 

 

Bubble

Here’s a bubble. There’s a bubble.

Tiny or huge, round, transparent spheres,

Watch them flying high, gathering speed on the wind.

See them floating gently, drifting silently down,

down to the ground  and P O P !

Choose one of these poems to write a poetry review, you could use this template or write your review straight into your work book.
