This week we are going to begin to write our own poem using the structure of The Wicked Witches' Song. First we need to re read the poem. Are you ready?

Where are the rhyming words? Make a list of all the words that rhyme in your home learning book. The Wicked Witches’ Song by Clare Bevan. I’m making witch spells, Give-you-all-an-itch spells, Stir the steamy cauldron with a monster Bone, I’m making mean spells, Slithery and green spells, Turn you into a lizard on a slimy stone. I’m making cat spells, Dangle-like-a-bat spells, Swish you on a broomstick through the Inky sky, I’m making shark spells, Dangerous and dark spells, Give you all a nightmare ‘til you scream And cry. What could you change in your poem. What could you write instead of mean spells? Shark spells? What could the witch turn you into?

Copy the table into your home learning book. I have filled in an ingredient and a description of something that is happening from the poem we have read. Now you have 15 minutes to think of your own ideas.
