Wednesday's English - 13/5/20

Here is the latest message from Miss Rees-Boughton and her poetry challenge. I have to say, I watched the video earlier and I found the process fascinating...

Hello everyone,

Day two of the writing challenge follows on from yesterdays video 'The Millipede'. Today, Martyn will show you how to illustrate a poem and how to develop a concept. He will also be introducing another 'brand new' poem and a sneak preview of one of the prizes in the competition. I really hope you enjoy the video and that it inspires you to begin to explore the life of animals around you, and begin to see the world from their perspective!

Remember, the competition will be formally launched on Friday, so sit back, put your creative hats on and enjoy the videos throughout the week.

And here's the link

After watching it, here are a few ideas you could try:

  • Get down to a bug's perspective and think about what life is like - could write a scene description or a diary!
  • Write your own poem about the millipede.
  • Try and draw a millipede or another type of creepy-crawly.
  • Experiment with ink drawings and / or watercolours.
