Poetry

Over the next few weeks we will be learning and performing different types of poems, particularly sound poetry.

Your task is to write us a poem. It can be about anything you like and it doesn't have to rhyme. Think carefully about how you will perform it to class.

We're looking forward to hearing them!

Tudors - rich or poor?

This week we have been learning about the differences between the lives of rich and poor people during the Tudor period. Write two paragraphs about whether you would like to live as a rich or a poor person during the Tudor period and why. Try to give at least three reasons and explain them in detail.

Biographies

This week we have been learning about biographies, in particular, the life of Mae Jemison, the first African-American woman to go to space.

Your task this week is to find some facts about a famous person of your choice. We will be writing about them in class next week. Write your information onto the planning sheet given to you by your teacher and remember to just write in note form.

If you're struggling to think of someone, try finding out about;

• your favourite author
• a musician or singer that you like
• your favourite actor
• your favourite person from history
• someone you admire

Here are a few examples;

Roald Dahl

David Beckham

Queen Elizabeth II
