Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to identify and describe the use of homophones in a poem about a diving competition and a set of cards to match pairs of words that are homophones to use when composing an example poem about a specific sport or game.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to identify and select special words that are homophones to use in a poem describing different sports.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to explain and model how to compose and present poems using special line structures and rhyming patterns to illustrate actions and themes connected to different sports. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
