1. Read and learn a poem

2. Remind yourself about poetry vocabulary
• Read Poetry Vocabulary.
• Now cut up the cards and turn them upside down. Play pairs, turning the cards and matching them.
3. Perform a poem
• Read Snow, Mrs Sprockett’s Strange Machine and The Moon.
• Choose your favourite of these three poems.
• Read Performance Questions. Think about your answers for your favourite poem and make notes about them.

Science
What is the digestive system?
The food we eat has to be broken down into other substances that our bodies can use. This is called digestion. Without digestion, we could not absorb food into our bodies and use it. Digestion happens in the digestive system. This is a series of organs that break the food down so it can be absorbed into our bloodstream.
