Learning Intentions
I am learning to…
Receptive –

Success Criteria
Literature
Examining Literature
- I can identify the relationship between words, sounds, imagery and language patterns in narratives and poetry. (such as ballads, limericks and free verse.)
Responding to Literacy
- I can identify and explain how choices in language. for example modality, emphasis, repetition and metaphor, influence personal response to different texts
Language
Text structure and organisation
- I understand how authors innovate on text structures and play with language features to achieve particular aesthetic and humorous purposes and effects.
- I understand that cohesive links can be made in texts by omitting or replacing words.
Literacy
Texts in context
- I can compare texts including media texts that represent ideas and events in different ways, explaining the effects of the different approaches.
Week 1
Today The Teacher Farted.
Today the teacher farted.
It was an awful smell.
It was like a rotting egg,
Straight from the depths of Hell!
She tried to keep it a secret
By sitting in a group.
But it was really obvious,
When she said, “Who did that poop?”
She screwed her bright, red face up
And blamed it all on Claire.
But later when I needed help,
The stench was round her chair!
She avoided my eye contact
And ticked my work in green.
But she knew that her body smells
Were foul and quite obscene.
I asked her what that smell was.
She said she’d not a clue.
I hope to God that eggy smell
Was fart and not a poo!
Today the teacher farted.
My word, what had she ate?
I’ll always remember what she did,
And now I’m thirty-eight!
The Lion by Roald Dahl
The Lion
The lion just adores to eat
A lot of red and tender meat
And if you ask the lion what
Is much the tenderest of the lot,
He will not say a roast of lamb
Or curried beef or devilled ham
Or crispy pork or corned beef hash
Or sausages or mutton mash.
Then could it be a big plump hen?
He answers no. What is it, then?
Oh, lion dear, could I not make
You happy with a lovely steak?
Could I entice you from your lair
With rabbit pie or roasted hare?
The lion smiled and shook his head
He came up very close and said,
‘The meat I am about to chew
Is neither steak nor chops. IT’S YOU
