https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-4/

The worksheet and answers are below

2. Literacy

This week we are going to look at poetry. Today's activity is a poetry warmup!

 Here is a picture of a frog. If I list what I can see I might write:

• Eyes
• Legs
• Toes
• Skin

Now, I'm going to describe each thing. I might use alliteration (where words start with the same sound) or a simile or metaphor.

The frog's black eyes bulge like berries.

It's mottled leg curves.

Toes splay out like the leaves of a fern.
The frog's skin is like a stained map.

You might guess too what it can see or hear.

It sits staring at you, gulping air through its wide mouth.

Have a go yourself using  a different animal, or this picture of the chameleon:
