Homonyms are words with the same form (sound, spelling or both)
but a different meaning.
We studied words which sound the same but look different – these
are called homophones.
An example would be tale and tail.
We also looked at words which look the same but sound different -
these are homographs. Wind is an example of this – the thing that
blows and what you do with a watch!
Homophones and homographs are both types of homonym.
We drew pictures of our different homonyms.
We put our pictures into a bag of tricks. like the character in our
folk tale had. He was a con-man who was able to trick people.
Homonyms can be tricky so we put them in special “bags of
trickiness”!
- Oliver – pen and pen
