Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to explain why and how poets use words in poems to evoke ideas and feelings about a journey and differentiated worksheets to find and record matching lists of rhyming words to use in different sentences about a train journey.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to match sets of words that rhyme to use when describing what might happen on a train journey.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to read and respond to poems about different ways to travel using a range of transportation vehicles, investigate syllables heard in different words and identify words that require capital letters. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
