Summer Term - Week 3: Lesson 5 Friday Family Maths Challenge

This weeks challenge is a maths and cooking collaboration. 
See the ingredients list below so that you are prepared 

English

Lesson 1

WALT: describe a character using similes, adjectives and verbs

Our story this week is The Colour Monster by Anna LLenas. Listen to the story below.

Remember back to last week when we looked at features of a character description? 
Today we are going to describe one of the colour monsters. Can you use a simile? The book has lots of similes that you could steal for your own writing.

What is a simile?

I have written a character description for happiness - the yellow monster. Can you see what language features I have used? 

I have used:

Adjectives (describing words)

Verbs (doing words)

Similes (comparing two things using 'like a' or 'as')

Lesson 2
WALT: describe a character by selecting ambitious vocabulary.

Listen to the story again, are there any words or phrases that you like to describe your favourite colour monster?

Can you create a feelings jar full of words and phrases to describe your favourite monster.
Challenge yourself and sort them into their word types. I have sorted my word types for the happiness monster!

Lesson 3

WALT: write a poem using a variety of descriptive language 

I have written a poem about happiness using all of the words and phrases we have collected this week. Can you see what features I have included in each line?

Did you spot:
feeling words

adjectives - (describing words)

verbs - (doing words)

simile - (comparing two things using 'like' or 'as'

metaphor - (describe something as something else)

Topic
