Good morning Oak Class!

I hope you all had a lovely day yesterday. How did you find the writing task? Which animals did you choose to write about?

Last night, I went and did the food shop for our household. We made a list of all of the meals that we want to have this week and one of them was to have pancakes for breakfast. So at 7:00am this morning, I made pancakes for us all – they were delicious! I’ve attached a picture for you to see – do you think I could be on the next Masterchef programme? Haha. 

Maths - As mentioned last week, teachers won't be setting daily maths activities on our blog. Please see your weekly learning grid for maths suggestions. 

Here is the link to the learning grid on our school website:

English – I can write a narrative poem about the rain forest

At the beginning of the half term, we wrote some FANTASTIC poems about a journey around the world. We used personification as a way to describe the sea and weather. Today, I would like you to write a similar style poem about the rainforest.

Use personification for the trees/plants and the weather but you could also add in descriptions of the tropical animals too.

Here is a suggested format to follow for each verse:

Line 1 – Describe an animal

Line 2 – Personification of the setting/weather

Line 3 – Verbs to describe

Line 4 – How it made you feel 

Here is my example: 

A scarlet and blue macaw perches contently

Rain races though the gaps in the canopy

Rushing and slamming, heavy droplets fall onto the jungle floor

I am left breathless 

I am really looking forward to reading your poems!

If you need me, comment on our blog post.

Have a fabulous day – missing you all.

Mrs Davies
