Talk about the ‘are’ sound.  Can you say the sound?  Can you write the sound? Look at the activity sheet attached to this blog and fill in the missing letters and words. Can you write some sentences using some of the words on the sheet?

English

Today we would like you to write a descriptive senses poem about your favourite things. Look at the poem below:

I love the taste of chocolate melting on my tongue.

I love the smell of warm cookies underneath my nose.

I love the feel of yellow sand soft between my toes.

I love the sound of birds singing at the dawn.

I love the sight of twinkling fireworks lighting up the darkness.

What is your favourite taste? What is your favourite smell?  What is your favourite thing to touch or feel? What is your favourite sound? What do you enjoy looking at? Once you have picked your favourite things write them down in a similar format to the poem above.

You can write on the poem template attached to this blog or use your own format and write in your home learning book. Try to use adjectives (describing words) to add detail to your poem.
