English

Our learning this week in English is all about Deadly Creatures from around the world.  

Read the following two extracts about snakes, making a note of any key words or phrases used: ‘Predators’ By Steve Backshall:

Predators by Steve Backshall (9781444004762/Paperback) | LoveReading (lovereading4kids.co.uk)

'100 Most Feared Creatures‘ by Anna Claybourne:

100 Most Feared Creatures by Anna Claybourne (9781784936143/Paperback) | LoveReading (lovereading4kids.co.uk)

Now watch ‘Iguana vs Snakes’ scene taken from Planet Earth II:

Iguana vs Snakes | Planet Earth II - YouTube

Imagine you are the new ‘David Attenborough’ or ‘Steve Backshall’ and have been asked to narrate this scene (be the voiceover for the scene).

Write the narrative you would say to accompany this scene.

Try to include lots of facts about snakes using the key words and phrases you have jotted down. You may wish to read aloud your voice over to a family member and, if possible, record it to send to me: bhowarth@wylyevalley.wilts.sch.uk
