English: Nursery Rhyme
Today you are going to write your own nursery rhyme about seeds.
Watch the video clips about seeds:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkFPyue5X3Q
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zxfrwmn/articles/z28dpbk
Role: Seeds
Audience: Nursery/Foundation children
Format: Nursery Rhyme
Topic: Explain what you do and why you are important.
Scientific vocabulary you could include: dormant, water, minerals, roots, temperature, light, germination, sprouted or adult.
Or if you are going to focus on dispersal of seeds you could include: disperse, transported, wind, float, glide, spin, pods, animals, hooks, grow and maybe even explode!
Read through the nursery rhymes to remind you of their structure and to inspire you.
Nursery rhymes can be as simple as a few rhyming lines about something you like (or maybe something that you don’t like). Here is one about a bicycle:
Bicycle, Bicycle, ride me around.
Up on the seat with my feet off the ground.
All through the country and all through the town.
Bicycle, Bicycle, ride me around.
Here is another about rain:
It’s raining down
in London town.
It’s raining up in Leeds.
The rain that rains
sustains the grains,
but also feeds the weeds.
And here is one about spicy hot chilli peppers:
Chilli pepper, chilli pepper, hot, hot, hot!
Mommy likes to cook you in her great big pot.
Daddy thinks you’re wonderful but I do not.
Chilli pepper, chilli pepper, hot, hot, hot!
