Step 1

Choose your character. I have chosen Harry Potter.

Brainstorm as many words that you can think of relating to your character. Use the example and planner below to help you.

Step 2

Sort these words into syllables and themes (this will help you with the writing process). Use the example and planner below to help you.

Step 3

Use the sheet below to organise your ideas into the different lines of the poem.

You may need to play around with the words to find ones that fit the lines/ syllables best.

Step 4

Write up your poem in the diamond below:

Writing Task 2Use the planning sheets below to create your own Cinquain poem. You might wish to watch through the teaching video again to remind yourself of the key features of a cinquain poem.

You could..

• Write about your favourite thing

• Write about something you don’t like

• Write about something you see around you

• Write about something that happens to you

Writing Task 3Before you start your neat copy of your poem check the success criteria below.

1. Does you poem look diamond shaped?

2. Has your poem got 5 lines?

3. Has your poem got the following syllable pattern... 2, 4, 6, 8, 2?

4. Is the first line the subject of the poem?

5. Does the second line have adjectives to describe the subject?

6. Does the third line have verbs linked to the subject?

7. Does the forth line have some feelings or thoughts about the topic?

8. Does the last line link to the beginning subject word?

If you have answered YES to all of this then create a neat copy, of your poem, with illustrations to show what the poem is about.

Here is one I made earlier.

Spelling Task 1Spelling- oi/oy

Please look at the example to see how to layout your spelling.

1. Say it. Stretch it out and count the number of sounds. Think about what letters make each sound. (e.g. c-l-a-pp-i-ng)

2. Clap it - clap the syllables of the word. Write it. (clapp/ing)

3. Find rhyming words.

4. Grow it. What words can you make from it? Try prefixes and suffixes. If you are using lists 2,3 or 4 remember to go back to list 1 for this growing task.

The spelling words are:

Spelling Task 2Continue the story below using as many of your spelling words as possible.

It all happened so quickly! One minute he was standing on the platform, the next he was hurtling through the air, hanging on for dear life…

Use these questions to help you with your ideas…

How do you think the boy is feeling?

What emotions do you think the man is experiencing?

Who is the man on the platform?

Is he a normal boy or does he have certain powers?

Will the driver realise what has happened?

Here is an example...

It all happened so quickly! One minute he was standing on the platform, the next he was hurtling through the air, hanging on for dear life…

The boy went from feeling rather petrified to suddenly having a huge smile spread across his face. He was starting to enjoy himself as the train sped along the tracks leaving the quiet station in the distance.

His Dad was very worried as the train became smaller and smaller almost looking like a toy. He was very annoyed that his silly son had grabbed on to the train and had left him standing their all on his own.

The boy held on to the train tightly making sure he didn’t fall off. His hand clasped his camera in his fist making sure that it and the magic coin, wrapped in foil in his pocket, did not fall onto the rusty tracks. His whole body was tense and his face was boiling hot. He could not believe his incredible strength.

Suddenly the train stopped with a screech as the driver spotted the boy in his mirror. The boy’s hand slipped and he fell on to the tracks. He landed with a thud and blacked out. When he woke up his Dad was standing by his side with a worried look on his face. The boy quickly checked his pocket but the coin had disappeared! Where had it gone?
