Hello stay at home Foxes. 

Welcome to week three of our online learning. You have been amazing, completing the work set in previous weeks to such a high standard! You have been super and we are very near to the end of the term and Christmas. Keep going and keep growing by taking part in the learning below and I look forward to seeing you before the end of term! 

English and Guided Reading 

This week is poetry week and by Friday we will have created and performed our own poem! The poem that our learning is based on is called 'A Recipe for Winter' and has been attached as a PDF below. 

English/Guided Reading lesson 1 - please can you spend this lesson reading the poem and answering the following questions: 

What do you like about the poem? 

What do you dislike about the poem? 

Why might someone read a poem at this time of year? 

English lesson 2 - for this lesson you will need a thesaurus or access to the internet to use thesaurus.com. This lesson will be spent gathering adventurous vocabulary to help us write our poems on Friday. To complete this activity you will need to watch the clip below of when Lucy discovers Narnia and write as many adjective words as you can think of to describe what you might see/smell/touch/hear/taste during winter. Once you have done this please use a thesaurus to find synonyms for the words you have written.
