This week in class we would have been looking at some poetry.

Session 1

Read the poem Ready, Steady - Moo! by June Crebbin (resources at the end of this document).

Notice the features of this poem - Discuss the features of the poem, e.g. it’s written from the cow’s

perspective, 7 verses, each verse has 4 lines, each verse includes one pair of rhyming words.

Can you say a sentence to tell if you like or don’t like the poem? Use the word because to explain

your opinion, e.g. I like the poem because it is describes what the cow thinks.

Then read the poem Breakfast by P.H. Kilby. Talk about how this poem is different to Ready, Steady

– Moo!

Say a sentence again to give your opinion of the poem.

Then highlight/underline with a coloured pencil the pairs of rhyming words in each poem. Have a

look to see which rhyming words are spelt the same and which are not.

Which poem is your favourite? Use because to explain your choice.

2

Session 2

Read the poem Witch Witch (see resources at end of document).

Identify the features of the poem, i.e., question and answer format, the witch replies to each

question, 4 verses, each verse includes a pair of rhyming words, it’s funny! Notice each verse has

two lines and the final word on each line rhymes.

Using the writing frame below, say out loud a few different second lines for each verse. Remember

that each verse must include a pair of rhyming words at the end of each line (use the ideas below to

help you!)

Then select your favourite idea for each verse and use correct punctuation to write the rhyming

couplet.

Additional Challenge: Write a new verse (or verses) for the poem. Compose a question and a

response to the question, remembering the final word of each line must rhyme.

Read each line.

Look at the list of rhyming words.

Choose one rhyming word.

Compose a second line.

‘Witch, witch, where do you fly?’…

sky, high, pie, try, thigh, guy, cry, eye, goodbye

‘Witch, witch, what do you eat?’…

cheat, feet, meat, sweet, treat, street, seat

‘Witch, witch, what do you drink?’…

blink, ink, shrink, think, wink, slink, clink, stink

‘Witch, witch, where do you sleep?’…

cheep, creep, deep, heap, sheep, sweep, jeep, steep, leap

Witch, witch, where do you fly?

Witch, witch, what do you eat?

Witch, witch, what do you drink?

Witch, witch, where do you sleep?

Session 3

Today’s poem contains lots of words that describe actions. Read Sounds Good by Judith Nicholls

(resources) and notice the features of the poem, i.e. short lines, three verses each of four lines, a

pair of rhyming words in each verse.

Read the first verse. There are four verbs in the verse (a verb is a word that describes an action).

Can you identify them? (sizzle, crack, hiss, snap).

Can you think of alternative verbs for the first verse? You could have sausage spits, crispbreads

snap, hot dogs howl and flapjacks flop.

Read again the second and third verses. Identify the verbs. Briefly consider alternatives.

Then using the writing frame below, read each question and answer and highlight the verb in each

sentence.

Then how many alternative for these verbs can you think of? You don’t need to think of words that

mean the same thing, just verbs that you could use instead and the sentence will still make sense.

Write them all in a list.

Read each sentence.

Highlight each verb.

Would you like to walk with a duck? I’d rather drive a big red truck.

Would you like to eat this bug? I’d rather chew an old rug.

Would you like to play with me? I’d rather climb this tall tree.

4

List alternative verbs that you could use in each sentence.

walk eat play

Session 4

Read The Dinosaur’s Dinner by June Crebbin (resources). This poem recounts a visit from a hungry

dinosaur!

Can you find the pairs of rhyming words? Look for me/settee; bread/instead; floor/more. Now read

the poem again and identify what the dinosaur ate and the verb the poet uses to describe how they

ate.

Then highlight the verbs, which describe how the dinosaur ate and use each verb to orally prepare

a sentence to describe what/how the dinosaur ate ie He swallowed the settee.

Write a list of all your sentences. Remember to check that you have a capital letter and a full stop

for each sentence!

Lastly, highlight the verb in each of your sentences.

Phonics Phonics will be taught by the class teacher in the daily Zoom meetings.

Science:

Nocturnal Animals

Our learning for this week is about nocturnal animals. Watch the following video clip:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zsshfg8

Which animals did you see in the clip? Have you seen any of the animals before? Maybe in your

garden? Do you know the names of any other nocturnal animals?

Perhaps you could try to encourage hedgehogs to come into your garden, by leaving out some food

and water. You can leave them cat biscuits or meaty cat/dog food. Never feed hedgehogs milk or

bread as this upsets their stomachs.

5

You could choose one of the nocturnal animals to draw and write a sentence about how it manages

to find food in the dark.

BIG QUESTION: What are animals who are most active in the day called? Can you name 3?

History: This week in class we would have been learning about the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II.

Take a look at the slides (uploaded separately to the website) and learn about the Queen, her family and

the jubilee celebrations that have taken place during her very long reign (remember – she has been Queen

for 69 years, longer than Queen Victoria who reigned for 64 years!) Try to answer some of the questions

on the slides, or talk about them with your grown up.

Then, on the worksheet at the end of this document, you can create your own royal family tree to show

the main members of the Queen’s family. Cut and stick the labels and then you can colour in the pictures.

R.E – Giving to charity You can begin by watching this short video, which explains about the 5 pillars of Islam: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/religious-studies-ks1-the-five-pillars-of-islam/zv84jhv We are focussing today on the 3rd pillar of Zakat – which is all about charity and giving donations to help the poor. You can watch the powerpoint all about Zakat and complete the hands worksheet, included at the end of this document. The children need to draw and label some of the things that Muslims might give for Zakat in the hands.

Session 1 Resources

Ready, Steady – Moo!

by June Crebbin

It’s peaceful here by the river,

All by ourselves in the sun,

Having a chew and chat now then,

Moving gently along.

But I’m not too keen on the hikers

That pass through our field each day,

One of them always waves a stick

In a menacing kind of way.

I’m not too keen on their children

Dashing all over the place,

Or their dogs, which run and nip at my heels

And yap in front of my face.

If only they’d just keep going,

If only they’d leave us alone,

Don’t they know they’re walking through

the middle of our home?

It’s time we taught them a lesson,

Yes, but what can we do?

We could try giving voice to the way that we feel:

Ready, steady – MOO-OO-OO!

It’s peaceful here by the river

Now that the hikers have gone,

All by ourselves in the meadow again,

Flicking out tails in the sun.

Breakfast

by P. H. Kilby

Good morning little earthworm

said the speckled Thrush

Where would you be going

so early in a rush

I’m off to find some breakfast

he answered with a frown

Well so am I sir said the Thrush

and quickly gulped him down.

Session 2 Resources

‘Witch, witch, what do you eat?’… ‘Little black apples from Hurricane Street.’

‘Witch, witch, what do you drink?’… ‘Vinegar, blacking and good red ink.’

Session 3 Resources

Sounds Good by Judith Nicholls

Sausage sizzles,

crispbreads crack;

hot dogs hiss

and flapjacks snap!

Bacon boils

and fritter fry;

apples squelch

in apple pie.

Baked bean bubble,

gravy grumbled;

popcorn pops,

and stomach rumbles…

I’M HUNGRY!

Session 4 Resources

The Dinosaur’s Dinner by June Crebbin

Once a mighty dinosaur Came to dine with me,

He gobbled up the curtains And swallowed our settee.

He didn’t seem to fancy

Onion soup with crusty bread, He much preferred the flavor

Of our furniture instead.

17

He ate up all our dining-chairs And carpets from the floor,

He polished off the table, then He looked around for more.

The television disappeared

In one almighty gulp, Wardrobes, beds and bathroom

He crunched into a pulp.

He really loved the greenhouse, He liked the garden shed,

He started on the chimney-pots But then my mother said:

‘Your friends are always welcome

To drop in for a bite, But really this one seems to have

A giant appetite.

You’d better take him somewhere else, I’m sure I don’t know where,

I only know this friend of yours Needs more than we can spare!’

And suddenly I realized I knew the very place,

And when I showed him where it was You should have seen his face –

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone

Enjoy a dinner more, I watched him wander on his way,

A happy dinosaur!

The council did rebuild our school, But that of course took time…

And all because a dinosaur Came home with me to dine!
