English

This week we are going to be reading  in our English lessons.

Watch this link to listen to the poem - I Love Bugs by Emma Dodd.

You can hear and read lots of exciting describing words. Write the words from the poem, e.g. springy, jumpy so that there is a large group of words. You may want to listen again and pause the video.

Use the words to make up some new noun phrases to describe different animals or bugs.

Draw your new bug showing the expanded noun phrases.

Challenge ... Did you hear the alliteration in the poem?  Can you use alliteration to create a powerful descriptions to describe a different bug?

Day 2 English

Listen to the poem again and discuss why do some of the noun phrases have hyphens?  How are these read? As you listen to the poem write down any rhyming words you can hear.

Parents:  Just in case you are unsure of why hyphens are used (The use of a hyphen is a simple rule of English grammar. they are used to tell the reader that the hyphenated adjectives modify the same noun; that is, wine-dark both modify the word sea).

Read the hyphen pages ( PDF at bottom of page) and see whether you were able to find all the examples.

Decide which level of challenge you are going to try....

Bronze	Take the rhyming quiz and write the rhyming pairs in your learning book (PDF at bottom of page)
Silver	Think of your favourite animal and write down different pairs of rhyming words to describe it.
Gold	Complete silver plus can you create any hyphen noun phrases which rhyme?

Day 3  English

I Love Bugs has lots of examples of alliteration.  Look at the alliteration Powerpoint (bottom of page) to learn more about alliteration.  Copy the sentences and fill in the gaps to make alliteration sentences. You can use the words in the examples or think of your own.

Challenge... think of your favourite animal and use alliteration to describe it.
