English: Week 3


Week 3

Good morning Year 2! 
We are missing you so so much and hope you are keeping safe at home.


Here is some more English for this week.


This week we are going to look at poetry.
What makes a great poem?







We are going to be learning to write our own silly poems this week which will include... 

·       Repetition
·        Rhyming
·        Imagery


Lesson 1


LO: To read and perform part of a poem


We are going to create our poems based on Michael Rosen’s ‘Don’t’

Read the poem below and listen to the link of the famous poet performing it.

Don't
Don't do,
Don't, do
Don't do that.
Don't pull faces,
Don't tease the cat.

Don't pick your ears,
Don't be rude at school.
Who do they think I am?
Some kind of fool?

One day they'll say

Don't put toffee in my coffee
don't pour gravy on the baby
don't put beer in his ear
don't stick your toes up his nose.

Don't put confetti on your spaghetti
and don't squash peas on your knees.
Don't put ants in your pants
don't put mustard in the custard
don't chuck jelly at the telly
and don't throw at a computer
dont throw fruit at a computer.

Don't what?
Don't throw fruit at a computer
Don't what?
Don't throw fruit at a computer

Who do they think I am?
Some kind of fool?


Task

Can you read the poem out loud?
Choose your favourite stanza (section), can you re-read this section and try to memorise it?

Try echo reading with your grown up… it will help you remember!

Once you feel confident… choose your audience. Can you perform part of the poem?

Remember to use
·        A clear loud voice
·        Face the audience
·        Add expression




Lesson 2
LO: To find features of a poem


Re-read yesterday’s poem ‘Don’t’

What do you like about this poem?
Is there anything you don’t like about the poem?

Write your opinions of the poem in our home learning book or on a piece of paper.

What does rhyming mean?
Watch the video below for an explanation.


Task 1

In your home learning book can you find all the rhyming pairs in Michael Rosen’s

Example
that – cat
school – fool

Task 2

Poem’s also contain lots of repetition.

Can you find a word or phrase in the poem that is repeated lots of times?

Record this in your home learning book. 





 
Lesson 3
LO: To write our own rhyming pairs


It can be quite tricky to write poems with rhyming words in, as there are different patterns and rhythms in different poems.

We are going to start off as simply as possible.

Task 1

Write a list of 9 nouns.

(A noun is a name, place or thing)

Example
chair
bed
coat


Task 2

Next to each noun, can you write another noun that rhymes with the first?

Remember a noun is a word that ends in the same sound.

Example
chair – pear
bed – bread
coat – boat




Lesson 4
LO: To draft part of a poem


Time to put those rhyming pairs into phrases or sentences.

Re-read ‘Don’t’ from lesson 1.
We are going to try and fit our rhyming pairs into Michael Rosen’s poem.

Task 1

In your learning books can you turn your rhyming words into a sentence of a phrase that starts with don’t.

Try to group them in threes.

Example
Don’t put pears on top of chairs,
don’t spread bread into the bed
and don’t use your coat as a boat.

 


Lesson 5
LO: To edit and re-write a poem.


Yesterday you put your rhyming pairs into short sentences and phrases.
Time to improve your learning and write your poem altogether.

How could you improve your poem?

1) Check your spelling with a dictionary or using the internet.
2) Use your best handwriting.

Time to do your best piece of writing.

Use Michael Rosen’s poem to start yours… and then be creative.

Miss James’s example
Don't
Don't do,
Don't, do
Don't do that.
Don't pull faces,
Don't tease the cat.

Don't pick your ears,
Don't be rude at school.
Who do they think I am?
Some kind of fool?

One day they'll say

Don’t put pears on top of chairs,
don’t spread bread into the bed
and don’t use your coat as a boat
What do they think I am?
Some kind of goat?


Try performing your poem to your family to make them smile!
