Activities in this teaching pack include a template to select and record a set of questions that could be used to structure and sequence a short poem about some of the different pupils that are part of a school using descriptive vocabulary.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore a set of questions that could be used to write a short poem about things happening in a school.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to read and write tongue twisters, humorous poems and word play poetry on the theme of schools, identify word roots that can be changed by adding different prefixes and rehearse and perform a poem to the class. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
