Reading
‘The Owl and the Pussy-Cat’ poem
Wednesday: Read the classic nonsense poem ‘The Owl and the Pussy-Cat’ by Edward Lear (above). Listen to it being read at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpwAP36-w7E. Some of the language is tricky – create your own glossary for this poem (you can use a thesaurus or the internet to help you).
Thursday: ‘The Owl and the Pussy-Cat’ is a nonsense poem. Learn about nonsense poetry by watching https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z4mmn39/articles/zgbyw6f. Write your own nonsense poem in the same style as ‘The Owl and the Pussy-Cat’. Why not choose two different animals?
Friday: Learn the poem by heart. Use the rhyming pattern to help you. Perform it aloud for someone at home. We’ll try to do it together on Teams on Monday.

Geography
Our new Geography topic is South America. Use an atlas or the internet to draw a map of South America – can you label all the different countries? For an extra challenge, also label the capital cities of each country.
Art
