A Dazzling Waterfall by
Maryam Nasir Aliyu

You can write your poem in any way that you like.
Try to include some of the new words that you have explored this week.
You might want to write a descriptive poem, describing a waterfall or the journey of a river.
You could include similes, e.g. as powerful as a bull, metaphors e.g. the waterfall is a wall of diamonds crashing to the ground, personification, e.g. the river grabbed and
tossed the rocks down her path.
Present your poem neatly and illustrate it.
Comprehension/grammar: Pet care of a cat, Year 4 English Grammar and Punctuation Test 5

Spellings: I have added the last spelling patterns to the bottom of the page.
Remember to check out Miss Dark's page for PE and Miss O'Keefe's page for Art tasks. Children should also continue to access TTRockstars each day and read for 15 minutes.
Please look after yourselves and we look forward to hearing from you soon,
Mr Haworth.
