‘Golden Time’ is another poem by Joseph Coelho.
Read it in your head first and then read it out loud. Use the Reflection Prompts to help you think about the poem. Read the questions and think about your answers to each one.

Golden Time  by Joseph Coelho 


Golden time - 
jewelled minutes  
and silvered seconds?   

Golden time
a diamond clock  
with ruby numbers? 

Golden time - 
a free hour  
doing what I please?  

Golden time - 
hands clasped on mouth  
catching laughter with a new friend.  

Golden time - 
the inhale of breath  
as the idea chimes.  

Golden time  
a room of beaming faces, 
every heart in sync.

Read it in your head first and then try reading it out loud. What rhythms and patterns can you hear when you read it aloud? Choose your favourite three images from the poem.

Maths Using formal methods for subtraction, can you complete these sums?  English  Read the story aloud, using good expression to read what is said. What five words could describe the shepherds?  What five words could describe the woman?  Which of the characters do you admire the most? Ouch! By Kevin Crossley-Holland  Five shepherds fell asleep under a tree. And in their sleep they sighed and stretched and tossed and turned and tied their legs into a knot. When they woke up, they didn't know which leg belonged to who. “I'm hungry,” said one shepherd.  “And I'm thirsty,” said another.  All five of them were thirsty and hungry, but they were unable to stand up.   “What's wrong with you, men?” shouted a woman on her way to the well:The sun's up and you're still on your backs.'   “We can't stand up,” said the shepherds. “We don't know which leg belongs to who.”   “What's it worth?” asked the woman....
