Reading and Writing Tasks

Today for English we are continuing on working on our Talk for Reading and Writing Tasks.

Out of the window – eye spy

We’ve all spent a lot of time looking out of the window over

the last few months. After a while, I started to notice things

that I had not really seen before. I have two robins who live

in the garden but they don t like each other. There is the

scruffy robin and the well-kept robin. They argue.

I thought I would write a list poem about the things that I

can see out of the window that interest me. To make the poem

more interesting, I chose secret things that I think no one

else would spot unless they had spent a lot of time looking!

This sort of poem is another list poem but it is about real

things. I called it eye spy because of the old game.

Listen to an audio recording of the poem below here:

6 things that eye spy

Eye spy a shadow shifting by the Buddleia butterfly bush.

Eye spy sunlight slicing through the fencing.

Eye spy the way buses shudder as they pull up at the bus

stop.

Eye spy John the postman’s footsteps as he paces Silver

Street. Eye spy the tiniest red money spiders crazily

wandering on the red brick wall.

Eye spy the rusted sign on Sharky’s Chippie creak and

squeak when the wind blows.

Task 1: Notice how I have named things. Complete the spaces

in these sentences, checking how I named each item. The

first is done for you:

I didn’t write ‘bush’, I wrote ‘Buddleia butterfly bush’.

I didn’t write ‘the postman’, I wrote ………………………….

I didn’t write ‘the road’, I wrote ……………………………..

I didn’t write ‘spiders’, I wrote ………………………………..

I didn’t write ‘the chip shop’, I wrote ………………………..

When you are writing, you can make things sound more real

and build the picture for the reader by naming things.

Writing tip: Try to name things so don t write about a flower

but name it, e.g. a poppy, daisy or rose. Naming things helps

the reader to see what you are writing about. You are trying

to notice details, bring them alive for the reader and make

them sound real.
