Reading
My dad
He comes home, has a shower,
And eats dinner, every day.
Now he's sitting in his favourite chair
Too tired to laugh or play.
He reads his book or newspaper
To learn what's new today.
Soon he'll go to bed.
He's a boring man, my dad.
Read the poem, understand and underline the similar sounds (as you did in A2).

Then I see him working,
On the building site.
He's high up in the clouds
Higher than a kite.
He's walking on a narrow piece of wood
Not worried about the height,
Not afraid, not afraid like me.
He's a superman, my dad
