Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of worksheets to produce vocabulary lists naming some of the special actions that might be performed by different classes when moving about a school to use when composing lines for a poem.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore vocabulary words that can be used in lines for a poem to describe different objects connected to the 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.
