Homonyms…

Homonym art!

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”!
