National Writing Day Activities: Year 4 Writing Activities

Tiger

Known for their strength and power, tigers are the largest members of the cat family. Tigers like to live alone, keeping their rivals away by using their scent to mark their territory. Tigers are recognisable by their distinctive striped coats. However, no two tigers have exactly the same stripes. Their coats act as camouflage when hunting their prey. A hungry tiger can eat as much as 60 pounds in one night.

In this clip, we will see a mother tiger, Raj Bhera, playing with her cubs and exploring their den after a long day’s hunting.

Writing Activity

✍️ Write an acrostic poem about the tigers in the clip, where the first letter of each line spells out the word TIGER.

Example:

Twilight descends as she pads through the trees,
In her wake, little paws follow with ease.
Golden eyes gleam in the soft fading light,
Exploring their den, they pounce, play and bite.
Raj Bhera, the queen, guards dreams through the night.
