On the Ning Nang Nong by Spike Milligan.
Designed as a printable book or e-book on the IWB.
Nice bright illustrations to accompany the poem (some courtesy of linda29 - thank you).
Designed to be used with my PowerPoint plan on Nonsense Rhymes and Poems.
Please rate the resource.
Thanks to Miss Chief for some content.
A 5 day lesson plan PowerPoint based on nonsense nursery rhymes and poems. 3 days looking at On the Ning Nang Nong by Spike Milligan, focusing on rhyming words, repetition, alliteration.
This is a collection of poems that my pupils like. I have generated some reading tasks to accompany them, along with a Learning Plan, a breakdown of the Skills and Range the unit covers and also some assessment sheets for you to use. Photostory is a free resource which you can download from the interweb. It's a lot of fun and a bit more exciting than powerpoint!
This is a revision reading unit. Children will read different styles of poem and recognise the poetic features that have been used. They become aware of a range of questions and how to answer them effectively. They will then go on to improve their own answers.

Children read, learn and perform examples of tongue twisters and nursery rhymes. They tackle riddles and create their own based on the examples. They enjoy nonsense poems and appreciate how punctuation helps reading aloud, before creating a class poetry book.

Updated and revised. The plans are based on the foundation stage EYFS themes (CLL - Communication Literacy and Language; PSRN - Problem Solving, reasoning and numeracy; KUW - Knowledge and Understanding of the World; PD - Physical Development; CD - Creative Development; PSED- Personal Social Emotional Development).
A selection of classic poems (selections were made based upon Lemov’s 5 plagues of reading) with questions focused on the KS1 content domains. I teach 1 per half term. Good for collating reading evidence for moderation.
Please note that the first 2 poems are typed in print. The font style is cursive thereafter. This is linked to the teaching of handwriting and progression at my school.

Year 5 guided reading activity in which the children have to use their inference skills to decide what is happening in the poem. Includes QR code with a link to video where the children can see the man himself, Spike Milligan, reading the poem.
Two week unit based on ‘Ning Nang Nong’ but a Stone Age take on the poem.
Main focus is on language - prepositional phrases, noun phrases, rhyme. Touches on onomatopoeia/alliteration when looking at features - this could be expanded and be two separate lessons if you wanted to make the unit longer.
We’ve used this as a stepping stone to historical fiction.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not have PPT on my mac. I have copied the pages from the Smart Notebook file onto Keynote and have exported this into ppt. I therefore do not know what the formatting is like in this format.
-This works best if you are able to use the Notebook file-
