POEM - THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT by Edward Lear

Do you like poems? I am sure you do. Do you know Edward Lear? 

He is a very famous 19th century English poet. 

Most poems contain rhymes and this well-known poem by Edward Lear is not an exception. I hope you find them and you enjoy this traditional poem. 

Moreover, this poem contains some nonsense words, that is, words with no meaning or imaginary meaning such as bong-tree and runcible (description of a spoon). 

 There are also two other words that children use to call cats and pigs: piggy wig and pussycat. As you listen to the poem, try to imagine the animals, what they look like, what they feel, where they are...

 

                                  

            You can also read the poem.

The poem itself is a nonsense poem because it's a bit silly that an owl and a pussycat fall in love and that they find a ring from a pig and they get married by a turkey. 

 Let's see some vocabulary that appears in the poem: 

 Pussy said to the owl: "You elegant fowl ..... 

Oh let us be married! Too long we have tarried: ...." 

 "Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling 

your ring? ...

 They dined on mince and slices on quince, 

which they ate with a runcible spoon."

SNOWFLAKES

 Do you know what SNOWFLAKES are?  

According to Wikipedia, a snowflake is a single ice crystal that has achieved sufficient size and may have amalgamated with others, then falls through the Earth's atmosphere as snow.

Listen to this simple song. I'm sure there are some words you might not remember well. 

 

 Did you know that snowflakes have lots of different shapes? Would you like to make your own snowflake? Watch the video and follow the steps. Try.  

 Here you have another way of making a snowflake slightly different from the previous one: 

 

 And below,in this link, you can find some patterns to print.

In the webpage of the British Council, I discovered another pattern to make a snowflake. Click on here.
