Time to tidy up, yelled the teacher. slowly sam put away his pencils tucked his chair under and stood behind it. when the classroom was tidy again the teacher let the children collect their coats. sams coat was red warm and waterproof. he couldnt wait to get outside and play

  • Think about where full stops should have been used.
  • Think where capital letters should have been used.
  • Should any commas have been included for sentences of 3, to mark clauses or phrases?
  • Are there any speech sentences that need inverted commas?
  • Are apostrophes required anywhere?

For the rest of this week, we will be focussing on poetry and will be writing poems using our senses. We will be focussing the poems on the theme “outdoors”.

Today, I would like you to go outside. You could go to your garden or yard or you could incorporate this lesson into your exercise for the day and go for a walk.

I want you to think about the questions below. You could also collect objects to bring back to your house to remind you of being outside.

What can you see? What can you hear? What can you feel? What can you smell? What can you taste?

Generate adjectives and similes for all of of the things you experience outside. Use powerful verbs and adverbs to describe what things are doing outside.

I went outside and generated some ideas. Set your work out like I have below by using a heading for each sense.

What can I see?

  • Strands of green grass dancing in the breeze
  • Bright, white snow covering the green grass like a blanket
  • Snow clouds as grey as steel

What can I hear?

  • Birds singing beautifully
  • The rumble of car engines in the distance
  • The wind whistling

What can I smell?

  • The fresh, clean air

What can I touch?

  • Snow as cold as ice
  • Thick, oozy mud
  • Rough bark on the tall, towering trees

What can I taste?

  • The ice cold air.
