Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder what you are Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky

Lots of poets have had fun with this simple well-known rhyme and now it’s your turn!

1. Pick another animal or vehicle instead of the star and with your helper, have a go at thinking up a different first line, e.g. Chug chug chug old rusty tractor or Flutter flutter tiny bird.
2. Now have a go at the second line: ‘How I wonder’…. What do you wonder about your animal/thing? Can you make the second line rhyme with the first? Don’t worry if it doesn’t make much sense! That might make it quite funny!
3. The third line could describe WHERE it is (up above/down below/far away/in the field, etc) and the fourth line could describe what it is like (like a diamond, like a monster, like a fairy).
4. You might have lots of ideas. Talk about them with your helper and choose the best ideas to write down.

What kind of food do you really dislike?
Do your mum or dad insist on having it at home?

This activity is a once in a lifetime opportunity to persuade your Mum or Dad or carer to BAN one kind of food that you really dislike from your home (for a fortnight).

Remember though, you have to PERSUADE them, not just TELL them. Shouting ‘Right Mum, I HATE poached eggs and you are not allowed to make them anymore,’ isn’t very persuasive is it?

Can you explain in a nice way why you dislike that kind of food?

Can you think of other (healthy) food you DO like that your family could have instead?

Are there any other kinds of food you would try instead of the food you dislike?

Write a short letter to your parent or carer trying to persuade them to ban a certain type of food for a fortnight. Will you be able to persuade them?
