Book Week Scotland

Primary 2 and Primary 2/1 were gifted their Read, Write and Count bags for Book Week Scotland. We enjoyed listening to stories such as ‘How Many Trees’ and ‘Rocketmole’ by Matt Carr. We enjoyed learning about trees and space. We made our own tree pictures and wrote about why trees are important.

After we read Rocketmole, we learned about NeilArmstrong and his missionto the moon. We imagined what it would like to go into space and packed our own suitcase to space!

The Rainbow

Christina Rossetti By Christina Rossetti

Boats sail on the rivers,
  And ships sail on the seas;
But clouds that sail across the sky
  Are prettier far than these.

There are bridges on the rivers,
  As pretty as you please;
But the bow that bridges heaven,
  And overtops the trees,
And builds a road from earth to sky,
Is prettier far than these.

This poem by Christina Rossetti has 2 verses. A person who writes poems is called a poet.

Task 1 – Reading, thinking and discussing.

  •  Read the poem out loud
  • What two things does the poet suggest is not as pretty as the clouds sailing in the sky?
  •  What do you think is the ” the bow that bridges heaven,
      And overtops the trees,
    And builds a road from earth to sky” is?
  •  What does the poet think is not as pretty as the “bow” ?

Task 2 – Handwriting

Choose your favourite verse from the poem and copy it in into your home learning book in your neatest handwriting. Decorate your poem by creating a beautiful border of clouds and rainbows.
