► ENGLISH - nonsense poetry
Poetry is about experimenting with words and the sounds they make. Some poems don’t have to have real meaning and can be utter nonsense!
Nonsense poems
Nonsense poems swap ordinary words for words you find interesting, funny or that sound good. You can even swap ordinary words for made-up words!
Michael Rosen, Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear and Spike Milligan are good authors to read if you like nonsense poetry.
Now let's investigate some nonsense poems and even try to write our own.....click below...

► TOPIC - entertainment in castles
How's the banquet planning going? To remind yourself of Norman food and drink ideas for a fun family banquet see yesterday!
Meet Saint Mason the Great...
To make yourself like Mason go to Purple Mash...Tools...Mash Cams and choose a Norman style character e.g. Anglo Saxon, Knight Hero, Knight Villain, Robin Hood, Saint George, Fairy Tale Princess - remember to save it.
The knights were an important part of Norman life. When they weren't fighting they provided entertainment by jousting. Watch this film...
LEARNING ACTIVITY
I would like you all to have a go at this.
Before a knight would joust he was announced by his Herald. A Herald would tell all the crowds about what a great hero the knight was, what adventures he had had. The Herald would often exaggerate using superlatives and exaggerated fibs. Watch this video for a Herald in action.
I would like you to write a Herald's speech to introduce a knight (if you have made yourself a mashcam knight you can imagine it's you).
Remember to use superlatives and exaggeration. Here is a short one by me....
"Lords and ladies, as I stand before you today I am proud to introduce to you a giant of a man, a hero who shows no fear, a knight who once defeated a fire breathing dragon with his bare hands, a man who can ride a horse faster than a cheetah...the handsomest, strongest, smartest knight in the kingdom....Lord Smyton of Wigston"
Then if you are super brave you can record yourself announcing it and send it to me
Lord Smyton's Herald
