English   

Lizzie noticed that Bernard Young plays a guitar and uses rhyming words. Here are the things that Lizzie likes:

I like bike rides and I like a long walk.
I like colouring in with my bright red chalk.
I like Summer and I like Spring.
I like sunshine it makes my heart sing.
I like my sister and I like my brother
but only when we are kind to each other.

Can you spot the words that rhyme?

What a lot of detail you have on your climbing picture Megan!







Today we are going to look at another Bernard Young poem. Listen to the poem The Wizard's Dog.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find a video of Bernard Young saying this poem so I am reading it instead. What is different about the way I have performed his poem and the way he performs his poems?

Y1 – What would the Wizard’s dog eat? Maybe stardust, moonbeams or chopped wands. Draw a picture in your Journal for the front of his Dog Food box. You could add some labels so that I know what everything is.

Y2 - Get your Comprehension booklet and find poem 'The wizard's dog'. Read it again and answer the questions. Use your highlighter pen to find the answers or clues in the poem.
