Remember this poem tells the story of a much-loved pair of shoes which, after long and faithful
service and an eventful ‘life’ are finally put in the re-cycling bin. After completing last week’s
work, you should know it quite well. The poem is on the next page so you can reread it or get an
adult to read it to you to remind you of it if you need.
Next, look through the PowerPoint about Adam adjective to remind you what adjectives are as I
would like you to use lots of these in your English work today.
Now, look through the Naomi Noun PowerPoint as this will remind you about nouns.
If you choose the gold challenge today you will putting adjectives before nouns to create
expanded noun phrases to describe the shoes (we have done this lots of times before).
Today’s activity:
Think about what happened to the shoes in the poem.
Bronze: First draw a picture of the shoes when they were new. List some adjectives around the
shoes to describe them. Then draw a picture of the shoes at the end and list some adjectives
around the shoes to describe them. You might want to borrow adjectives from the poem.
Silver: First draw a picture of the shoes when they were new. Underneath write at least 5
sentences to describe them. Make sure each sentence has at least 1 adjective in. Then draw a
picture of the shoes at the end and write 5 more sentences that describe what they looked like
then. Again, remember to include those adjectives.
Gold: First draw a picture of the shoes when they were new. Underneath write a full description
of them. Please write at least 7 sentences, making sure that as well as using adjectives some of
your sentences include expanded noun phrases. Also, if you vary the way the sentence starts it
will make the description more interesting. For example, don’t start each sentence with; The
shoes are….
Then draw a picture of the shoes at the end and write 7 more sentences that describe what they
looked like then. Again, remember to include those adjectives, expanded noun phrases and
