The Spaceship

Answer the questions in complete sentences.

R is for Rocket, S is for Space, U is for Universe, P is for planet

 

Can you write some adjectives (describing words), verbs (doing words), or adverbs (often ends in ly and modifies other words), beginning with those letters on the rocket templates.

 

 

 

Maybe even make your own 3D rocket and write the words on the sides.

  2. What is the metaphor in the second line? What does this make you feel and think of?
  3. How does the poet create the sense that the rainforest is entirely its own world?
  4. Can you find an example of alliteration in the third and fourth lines? Why is it effective?
  5. Which animals are mentioned in the poem? Can you see these animals in the accompanying illustration?
  6. How does the poet change the tone of the poem half way through?
  7. How does the poet use imagery of light and dark in the poem? What sort of atmosphere does it create?
  8. What sense do you have that life is difficult in the rainforest? How do you get that sense?
  9. The poet creates contrast throughout “Rainforest”. Do you agree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer.
  10. How does the poet make the reader feel that the rainforest is magical or dangerous? Does the poet make you like the rainforest or feel fearful of it?

Making a Time Capsule

What is a Time Capsule?           

time capsule is a container that holds present day items, such as photos, newspapers, letters and more. It records history right now, and it is put away so that in the future we can remember what this time was like.

You can complete this Time Capsule and look back on it in years to come. Put the finished sheets in a labelled time capsule box and make a note on the calendar to look back at them at the end of the year.

Store the box somewhere safe and dry. You could also take some photos of a typical day in your household and put these in too.

In the future, people will look back upon this period the year 2020, as a major event in our history. This time won’t last forever. So you, can create your own time capsule based on your life at the moment, and in the future, you will be telling your grandchildren about what it was like!

Print out the following PDF’s:

  1. Objects to put into a capsule
  2. A letter to my future self
  3. My home learning diary (remember Samuel Pepys’ diary about the Great Fire of London),
  4. Time capsule activities.

You might also like to make an outdoor time capsule, and bury it in the garden.
