Homework this week is Practice Makes Perfect.

In class, we have been learning how to vary the start of sentences. The children have some work to complete on trying to start sentences in different ways:

• With a word ending in ‘ing‘: Holding Fizah’s hand as tightly as she could, Wendy stepped forward.
• With an adverb: Carefully, Harry carried the delicate china cup to the fountain.
• With a connective: Because of the traffic, I was late for school.
• With a preposition: By summer, the plant had produced beautiful petals of a golden yellow.

Homework is due in on Wednesday 19 January 2011.

This week’s homework is creative and links to the literacy learning that we have been doing in class. It is due in on Wednesday 12 January 2011.

I can write a kenning poem.

A kenning poem describes something without giving its name away. It uses verbs ending in ‘er’.

Here is an example similar to the ones we looked at in class:

A loud-barker

A swift-sprinter

A mud-roller

A cat-chaser

A tail-wagger

Think of your own animal. Now write a kenning poem about your animal. Remember to think of all the verbs (doing words) that your animal does and then add ‘er’ to the end of them.

Adjectives/ Adverbs group: Try to use your ambitious vocabulary. Can you think of even better words eg eater could also be scoffer or gobbler.  (Remember your hyphens too!)
