TO PRINT
We have tried to identify the key pages to be printed out as we realise this pack contains a lot of pages.
Printing in black and white would also be an option.
This week is Poetry week!
You will have seen the information in the school newsletter about the
poetry competition we are running at school with prizes for the best poems.
We are continuing to use your experiences of lockdown to help you create a poem about the things you
have missed.
We have a new set of topic activities for you this week too.

Monday – Writing Task 1 – Similes We are focussing on poetry all this week!
Starter – Spelling and handwriting
Task 1 Word pictures – using similes
Similes are really useful when you write because they help the reader picture and get a better understanding of what you are writing about.
There are two types of simile: like and as, for example:
It was as small as a grain of wheat.
His hands were like claws.
Everyone has heard of the simile ‘as quiet as a mouse’. In this activity, you have to create new endings so that instead of as quiet as a mouse you think of something else really quiet, for example:
‘as quiet as a thief’s whisper in a library’.
11
Can you make up new similes by completing the following (it doesn’t just have to be one word!):
As loud as _________________________________________________________________
As red as __________________________________________________________________
As large as ________________________________________________________________
As small as _______________________________________________________________
As tall as __________________________________________________________________
As blue as _________________________________________________________________
As soft as _________________________________________________________________
As tough as _______________________________________________________________
Task 2 - Let’s have some fun by inventing a list poem of new, crazy similes. They don’t have to make sense as you are just playing with the idea. Choose an animal that you like and describe it using invented and silly similes. You could describe your animal’s eyes, ears, tail, paws, claws and teeth. Here is my example:
My crazy cat has
eyes like red buses,
ears like police cars,
a tail like a computer mouse,
paws like telegraph poles,
claws like crisp packets
and teeth like rotten bananas.

__________________________________________________________________________
Now try writing exactly the same poem BUT using similes that seem to work. My example:
My cat has
Eyes like emeralds,
Ears like velvet corners,
A tail like a furry cable,
Paws like small cushions,
Claws like fishing hooks
And teeth like a necklace of white needles.

Which poem did you find easier to write? Was it when your brain was trying to think of the wrong things or the right things?
__________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________
Which is your best idea and why?
__________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________
Writing tip:
If you are writing a playful list, then it can be fun to write a crazy simile. If you are trying to say what things are really like, then the simile has to work. Remember what we said earlier: there are two types of simile like and as. A simile is a comparison. It is when you say two different things are similar.

Tuesday – Writing Task 2 – Metaphors
Starter – plural possessive nouns
Complete the sentence with the correct plural possessive noun:
Singular = woman, plural =______________________
The __________________________ hats were blown off.
Singular = goose, plural =_________________________
The _________________________feathers are white.
Singular = tooth, plural =_____________________
The ______________________________surface is protected by regular brushing.
Task 1 – Metaphors
In today’s poem you are going to write another playful list of ideas using the phrase:
You are…
This time, instead of using the word “like” to make a simile, we are going to write metaphors. A metaphor is stronger than a simile. It is when you say that one things is another thing eg:
Simile Metaphor
The moon is like a smile…… The moon is a smile……
20
Write a metaphor for these:
The cat is a __________________________________
The car is a __________________________________
The sun is a ___________________________________
Write one of your own:
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Read this list poem which uses metaphors . (or listen here: https://soundcloud.com/talkforwriting/you-are/s-dvnHTD8ZzH3 )
You Are
You are a soft sofa and comforting cushions.
You are a wolfhound panting after a run.
You are a cat stretching his curious claws.
You are a red bus slowing to a full stop.
You are an ancient oak tree, gnarled and misshapen.
You are an ice cream cone with two flakes at different angles.
You are clouds of sheep on a hillside.
You are sunlight sleeping on a windowsill
You are the Tardis travelling to an unexpected destination.
You are the squeak of a hinge that needs oiling.
You are the moment after a sigh.
You are the worker bee hovering outside the hive.
You are the gurgle gargling in a drain.
You are the scratching of fingernails on wood.
You are anger spun into a knot.
21
You are the sadness of ‘never again’
You are the nettle sting of a lasting lie.
You are the smell of chips and vinegar on a frosty night.
You are a solitary cloud lost in blue sky.
You are the moment between laughter exploding
And its sudden end with an intake of knowledge.
Task 2 - Write your own metaphor list poem. Use these categories as a guide to make your own list of ideas: Birds sounds Animals types oof food Fish/water creatures natural things Insects things from a story Plants delicate or soft things Vehicles shiny or bright things Coloured things feelings Places memories Objects Each lines starts with You are……To write your poem lines think of an idea:
You are a…………cat……….
Then extend the idea, thinking about what it looks like or what it is doing:
You are a sleek cat curled asleep in the corne.r of the kitchen
Try to write at least 10 really good extended lines for your poem – you can keep going and write more than this! Writing tip Read your completed list poem out loud. If there are bits which are hard for you to read out, then you can be sure it will be hard for someone else to read. Change it and tweak the poem so that it sounds good when you read it out loud. Try to avoid repetition of words or ideas so each line is fresh and a surprise for the reader.

Wednesday – Writing Task 3 – Eye spy poem
We’ve probably all spent a lot of time looking out of the window in the past few months. You may have started to notice things you hadn’t spotted before like the antics of wildlife in your garden or a person who walks past at the same time every day.
Here is another list poem about things spotted out the window:
Eye spy a shadow shifting by the Buddleia butterfly bush.
Eye spy sunlight slicing through the fencing.
Eye spy the way buses shudder as they pull up at the bus stop.
Eye spy John the postman’s footsteps as he paces Silver Street.
Eye spy the tiniest red money spiders crazily wandering on the red brick wall.
Eye spy the rusted sign on Sharky’s Chippie creak and squeak when the wind
blows.
Notice how the poet uses POWERFUL VERBS eg slicing, shudder, paces.
Notice how the poet NAMES things.
The poet didn’t write ‘bush’ he wrote Buddleia butterfly bush
He didn’t write ‘the postman’, he wrote__________________________________
He didn’t write ‘the road’, he wrote____________________________________
He didn’t write spiders, he wrote _____________________________________
He didn’t write ‘the chip shop’ he wrote _____________________________
Task 1 - Think of 6 things you have spotted through the window. Write a list poem. To make the poem more interesting try to choose things you think no one else would spot!
Writing Tip: This technique of naming things makes them more real and builds a more vivid picture for the reader. Eg Don’t say ‘flower’, say daisy, poppy or rose for more effect.

Thursday – Writing Task 4 – Poem For the school poetry competition everyone is being asked to write a poem about the things they have missed during lock down.
Read or listen to this poem https://soundcloud.com/talkforwriting/didnt-know/s-
M7Rgv1VrhKV
I didn’t know I’d miss
I didn’t know I’d miss -
The hum of everyone in assembly
And the joyful sound of us singing together.
I didn’t know I’d miss -
Miss Wood on the flipchart writing up our ideas
As we make up a story together and the room is alive with creativity.
I didn’t know I’d miss -
Meeting with my friends each morning,
Even when the playground was cold.
I didn’t know I’d miss -
Showing the little ones how to read
And help my friends with tidying up the class.
I didn’t know I’d miss -
My pencil case with all my pencils
And the smell of the inside of my school bag.
I didn’t know I’d miss -
Finding a new book that I love from the class library.
I didn’t know I’d miss
School dinners, especially
The thick layer on top of custard.
33
Task 1 Mind mapping your ideas - Create a mind map of all the things you have missed. It might be things you were surprised that you missed! Add detail – why did you miss it? What particular bit of it did you miss?
Click here to see Mrs Henderson’s mind map and hear her poem https://youtu.be/wIT3R9675vs
I didn’t know I’d miss…
34
Task 2 Writing your poem.
Using your mind map of ideas and the example poem, write your own poem entitled “I didn’t know I’d miss”.
Handy hints:
• Choose things from your mind map which really matter to you and the things you
are most looking forward to being able to do again.
• Take one idea at a time and add detail so the reader understands what you are
missing.
• You can magpie the poem’s structure from the example:
o Each verse starts with “I didn’t know I’d miss”
o and includes one idea expanded to include specific details.
o Aim for at least 6 verses.
• Use the work done earlier this the week to improve your ideas: Similes, metaphors,
expanding ideas and naming specific things.
• Don’t forget to try reading your poem out loud to see if it flows and sounds right.

Ejercicio cinco – las Fiestas de San Fermín
From the 6th to the 14th July it is festival time in the Spanish town of Pamplona in honour
of the patron Saint Fermin. Festivities start on 6th July at noon when a rocket is set off
from the town hall and the crowds shout İViva San Fermin! The celebrating, singing and
dancing begin.
On the 7th there is a procession
and a figure of Saint Fermin is
carried through the streets. Giant
papier mâché figures also take part
in the procession. This festival is
different from all the others in Spain
because it is famous for the daily
“Running of the Bulls”. Each
morning bulls are released to run
through the narrow streets of
Pamplona and men try to run with
them, which can be very dangerous.
The men wear a traditional costume
of white with a red neck tie.
Watch this YouTube video where you will hear a traditional song about Saint Fermin and
see images from previous years’ festivities.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQAU_S1WlAM
47
But not this year! Due to Coronavirus, which has badly affected Spain, it has been decided
to cancel the Festivities of Saint Fermin this year.
You could colour this picture below of an angry running bull.
Don’t forget to send a photo or scan of your completed work to Mrs
Whitton if you would like to have it marked. A copy of any completed
tasks will be filed in your Spanish folder.

Think about the legacy of the Ancient Greeks. Can you rank their legacies from most important to least important? Write then on the ladder.

Ancient Greek Theatre masks
Greek theatre masks were made of stiffened and painted linen so none have survived to the present day. We only know what they looked like because theatre was so popular in Greek and Roman times that models of actors and masks were made in other materials such as terracotta, stone and bronze and depicted on gems and in paintings and mosaics.
With its exaggerated, grotesque features, this terracotta model shows the mask worn by the old man character in many comedies of the 300s BC and later. He has a wide grin, furrowed brow and bald head and wears a wreath with ivy leaves and clusters of berries. The masks worn in tragedies were different, with idealised features set in calm, serious, or sometimes pained expressions.
Make your own Theatre mask
Use card to make a basic mask shape, big enough to cover your face. Fold the card in half and draw half of the outline, mouth and one eye so when you cut out the shapes your mask is symmetrical. Your mask could be smiling (for a comedy) or show a sad face suitable for a tragedy.
Use a second piece of card to make a nose and brow and glued to the face at an angle to form a realistic profile. The nose will point out from the mask slightly.
Add hair, beards and laurel wreaths using curled and scored card scraps.
53
Art – Andy Warhol & Pop Art
This is a self portrait of Andy Warhol. He was and American artist, born in 1928 and died in 1987.
Warhol is famous for his style of Pop Art and often used well know products in his art such as soup cans and cocoa cola bottles.
He also liked using screen printing to mass-produce artworks based on photographs of celebrities, like this image of Marilyn Monroe. He used the same technique for other things too.
Have a go and create your own colourful pop art in the style of Warhol.
Here is a tutorial you can follow: https://youtu.be/N8KH-5lMZYE
Or there are lots of suggestions for art ideas here: https://www.tate.org.uk/kids/make/paint-draw/make-pop-art-warhol
54
Art – Still life
This is a contrasting style of art. Still life means painting anything that is man made or natural which does not move (or is dead). Many artists painted still life pictures including :
Georges Braque:
Guitar and Jug Glass on a table
Pieter Claesz:
Still life with musical instruments Still life with fruit, bread and roemer (a large wine glass)
Willem Kalf:
Still life Still Life with Holbein Bowl, Nautilus Cup, Glass Goblet and Fruit Dish
Gather some items and arrange them (you could include a cup, a pieces of fruit, a book, a drink etc). Then sit and sketch the group of objects. As the items are in r=front of you, you can keep looking at them and adjusting your sketch. Here is a online tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzR4vyR6Nyg which you might find helpful.
Add shading with a pencil to make the objects appear 3D. You can add colour with pencils, watercolours or any other way you like.
55
Instant vanilla ice cream
Science fact: Under normal circumstances, water freezes at 0 °C, but adding salt to the ice lowers the temperature to -10 °C, meaning the milk freezes in minutes.
Ingredients
300ml semi-skimmed milk
1 tbsp caster sugar
¼ tsp vanilla extract
1kg ice
6 tbsp rock salt
hundreds and thousands, to serve
Method
1. Place the milk, sugar and vanilla into the doubled-up medium zip-seal bags. Close and secure with sticky tape if the seal isn’t strong. Tip the ice and salt into the large bag, then place the smaller bags inside the larger one, and seal well.
2. You will need to keep the bags moving for 10-15 mins to freeze the milk. Gently throw the bag from hand to hand or take turns shaking it – it’s a good idea to wear gloves to keep your hands warm! Remove the ice-cream bag, open and scoop into bowls. Sprinkle with hundreds & thousands.
Add food colouring or other ingredients (eg chocolate chips) to your milk and sugar before shaking to vary the final ice cream!
Watch a video of this recipe being made here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoNYsUTxwi0
You will need
2 medium zip-seal freezer bags
1 large zip-seal freezer bag
sticky tape

D&T – Levers, linkages, pivots Lever – something that turns on a pivot.
Linkage – A system of levers connected by pivots.
Mechanism – A collection of parts which work together to create movement.
Can you circle levers and linkages in these pictures?
(the answers are at the back of the pack)
Using levers and linkages you can make a moving monster head
You will need
strips of card (you could use a cereal box)
paper fastners/split pins.
Additional card or paper to make a head, spikes, fins etc
Scissors, ruler, glue
Use the step by step guideon the next page to make yourmechanism using linkages, then add a head and decorate your monster. The easiest way to make holes in the card is to use a pencil with a lump of plasticine or blue tac underneath the card to push through to.
57
Alternative ideas
Use the same mechanism and come up with your own design. Here is an example showing a girl jumping on a trampoline!
