Yesterday we read 'These are the Hands' by Michael Rosen. Over the next two lessons, we are going to write our own poem in the style of this one.

Today, choose a job or organisation (for example a school).

Write a list or mindmap of everything the hands do there. Think about all the different roles e.g a school has teachers, teaching assistants, cooks, caretaker, office staff, cleaners etc. Or you could write one about the pupils in a school.
