Invent an extreme sport. Write a
detailed set of instructions showing
how to play. Try to include all the key
features of successful instructions.
How can you show that you’ve thought
about your audience?
This half term, we will be exploring
stories from other cultures. Find a
different version of a well-known
story (there are lots of versions of
‘Cinderella’ from around the world!)
and record what is the same and
what is different :)
Stories from Other Cultures: Look at
some of the Anansi stories available in
our school library or online. Can you
write a re-telling of a popular Anansi
story? Think about your word choices,
sentence openers and punctuation!
Choose something you know how to do
really well. Write a set of instructions
showing the reader clearly how to do
it!
Pick a favourite poem. Can you
highlight the different poetic devices
used? Think about the following:
Simile, metaphor, onomatopoeia,
alliteration, portmanteau, rhyme,
repetition
Portmanteau is an example of a device
used by poets. Can you find out what it
means? Can you give examples of
portmanteau?
Create a poster showing how to write a
successful set of instructions

Four-digit targets:
Take a ‘four-digit target’ challenge task sheet
