Spellings

We have some more wonderful spelling to learn. This time they are sports related. 

Ever wondered what the rules of Tag Rugby are? Well now you'll know, because I've selected some of my favourites from the IRB Rules of the Game. Have a look at the rest if these aren't enough for you.

It might look a lot but there is significantly less than last week. However there is admittedly much more than the first week. Just to confirm, you only have to read the first bit, the rest is purely for fun.

Poetry

Our poetry reading is becoming exceptional; however, I am starting to hear poems being repeated because we only have so many books here.

I want you to create a poetry anthology. Your task is to gather a range of poems that you want to read out and put it together into an anthology.

You may choose to find poems on a theme e.g. animals, nature, people etc... or just a collection of your favourites. I'd love to hear some more classic poems.

Look in the library, check out some of the poems online or speak to friends and family. When you've found some that you like put them together, maybe even decorate them and bring them in.

This is going to be a long home learning task that I would like to see back after half term:

Monday 5th November 

FAQs

How much should I do?
This is two weeks of normal home learning plus the half term holidays. Think to yourself, what is an acceptable amount for that length of time? (Then do more)

Should I type it up or write it?
You are welcome to do both. It may be nicer to decorate something that is hand written but printed out is also fine.

What should I bring it in?
Maybe just a plastic wallet. Don't bring it in a big thick folder. It may need to be stored in your trays; however, if you all made them look nice with beautiful front covers, I would love to keep them in the classroom where they are visible to everyone.

Should I practice reading the poems?
Yes. Once you have created your anthology read it to people you know: Mum, Dad, Brother Sister, dog, guinea pig etc...

One day you might be as good as this lady:
