Acrostic Poetry

An acrostic poem can be fun to create but also quite thought provoking.

For today’s challenge, I would like you to have a go at writing an acrostic poem for a sport or sports person of your choice. Try and write sentences for each letter rather just choosing one word. Be creative!

Here is an example for one of my favourite sports:

It was great last week to see so many examples of the work the children had completed as well as photos of them working, so if you like to share your child’s work with me (for rewards and feedback), again this can be done via the Class Dojo portfolio. As usual, if you have any queries, please continue to contact me via the Class Dojo app.

I will also set some daily challenges on a Tuesday and Thursday and send the link out via Class Dojo around 8am each day.

Kind regards and keep well

You have two sets of the digits from 0 to 9.

Can you arrange these digits in the five boxes below to make four-digit numbers as close to the target number as possible.
You may use each digit once only.

You may need to use a trial and error approach – Keep trying

Time for some research….

Can you create an information page for a sea creature of your choice. You could choose your favourite sea creature or even choose to find out about a sea creature that you haven’t heard of before…

Try and use the following features:

Title – name of your page

Sub title – introduction to your page

Sub headings – mini title for each section

Paragraphs – groups of sentences about the same information

Labels or captions – give extra details to pictures or diagrams

As well as general information, try and include sections on habitat and diet and also try and include an interesting fact!

You can can create these on paper or even use a computer programme such as powerpoint or publisher.

I would love to see your work, so send it in via dojo.

Good luck
