‘Wear It Bright’ Day
Friday 22nd Nov
Take a look at the clip below and create a poster to remind people why they should wear it bright!
Talk Time Homework 
This week we will be writing an ACROSTIC poem to remind people of the importance of wearing bright/reflective clothing when out and about at night.
Think about suitable words to use for the title of your poem. For example… Be Bright, Be Seen
Wear It Bright
Bright At Night
Now think of appropriate sentences or phrases you could use to remind people of HOW and WHY they should wear BRIGHT colours when out in the dark. Remember each of your phrases/sentences need to start with the letters in your title. Try to use lots of good ADJECTIVES, ADVERBS or even SIMILES.
Still working on long ee phoneme.
