Reading and Writing Tasks

Today for English we are continuing on working on our Talk for Reading and Writing Tasks.

What you are – using metaphors

Now we have warmed ourselves up, let s try something that

requires you to really think hard. Again, you have to try to

make each idea different and not repeat yourself. Remember

to name things so that you write Skoda rather than car if you

want to suggest it’s not posh. In this poem, we are going to

write another list of playful ideas, using the phrase You are.

In my example, I started by writing a list of similes:


You are like a cat …

Then I removed the word ‘like’ and wrote what is called a

metaphor. Again, you may well know about these:

You are a cat …

A metaphor is stronger than a simile. It is when you say that

one thing is another thing. It’s a little bit of magic. Instead

of writing,

The moon is like a

smile …

You write,

The moon is a smile …

Task 1: Start by reading my poem. I had a lot of fun writing

this. I made a quick list of ideas – different animals, objects,

vehicles, things from nature, things from home or the

countryside or town. I also listed things like sounds, feelings,

smells, moments, delicate things. I allowed myself to be

adventurous and tried to write an extended, playful poem.

You can listen to an audio recording of the poem below

You Are

You are a soft sofa and comforting cushions.

You are a wolfhound panting after a run.

You are a cat stretching his curious claws.

You are a red bus slowing to a full stop.

You are an ancient oak tree, gnarled and misshapen.

You are an ice cream cone with two flakes at different angles.

You are clouds of sheep on a hillside.

You are sunlight sleeping on a windowsill.

You are the Tardis travelling to an unexpected destination.

You are the squeak of a hinge that needs oiling.

You are the moment after a sigh.

You are the worker bee hovering outside the hive.

You are the gurgle gargling in a drain.

You are the scratching of fingernails on wood.

You are anger spun into a knot.

You are the sadness of ‘never again’.

You are the nettle sting of a lasting lie.

You are the smell of chips and vinegar on a frosty night.

You are a solitary cloud lost in blue sky. You are the

moment between laughter exploding and its sudden

end with an intake of knowledge.


Task 2: Add to this ideas list. This will help you get lots of

different ideas. You don t have to use all of them. Try to

think of unusual ones. birds animals fishes or water creatures insects plants vehicles coloured things places objects

sounds types of food natural things things from a story delicate or soft things shiny or bright things feelings memories

To write your lines, think of an idea. For example,

You are a … cat …

Then extend the idea thinking about what it looks like or is

doing:

You are a sleek cat curled asleep in the corner of the kitchen.

Writing tip: read your poem aloud. If there are any places

where it is hard for you to read then you can be sure that it

will be hard for anyone else to read. Change it – read aloud

and tweak the poem so that it sounds good and says what

you wanted it to say. Try to avoid repetition of words or ideas

so each line is fresh and will surprise the reader.


Spelling Task

Please learn and practise the following 3 spelling words today, and then write 3 sentences containing the words:

busy eight height

I’d like you to practise these words that follow a spelling pattern too. These pattern words will be the same every day to make sure we learn them really well. Let’s take a look at words containing ch where is sounds like ‘sh’ or ‘k’ (such as ‘chef’ and ‘scheme’). Please practise these words:

chaos character chemical


PSHCE Task

Today we are continuing our new topic for PSHCE called Think Positive. These activities work best if you have an adult to discuss them with. The theme for today is ‘Always Learning’

Aim: I can apply a positive attitude towards learning and take on new challenges. Success Criteria:

I understand that mistakes are part of learning. I have strategies I can use when something is

challenging. I know what it takes to be a good learner.


The Big Questions:


Activity:


Daily Prayer to practise and learn

Please continue to practise the Lamb of God prayer so that you can say it when we attend Mass together when we get back to school.

Lamb of God Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, Have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, Have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, Grant us peace.
