Talk Homework

Monday 31st October

This week we will be learning about organisations and people who help others. Also, we shall be reading the story of 'The Good Samaritan' and considering the qualities of a Samaritan.

On Friday during our Big Talk / Write we shall be creating a list poem called,

'5 Things Found in a Samaritan's Pocket'.

During the week the children will need to talk about the types of items that might be found in the Samaritan's pocket, such as the qualities of a Samaritan, for example: love, trust, honesty, care, forgiveness, thoughtfulness, and any items they may have or collected:a thank you gift, bible, a smile from..., a heart warming memory of..., a blanket, prayers etc.

Here are two examples of similar list poems.

5 Things Found in a Fairy's Pocket

A bright pair of wings,
A bag of licking lollipops that last forever,
An invisible cloak,
A potion that turns you to dust,
A talking tree that tells you the right thing to do.

5 Things Found in Neil Armstrong's Pocket

A shooting star as dazzling as a crystal

A camera to take photographs of the dusty landscape

A bag of breath taking silence

A colourful USA flag

Feelings of missing family 250,000 miles away
