Year 3 Are Writing Poetry!

Frog
Water animal
You swim
In a pond
You sit still and catch flies
With your tongue

This is just one example of a poem that the Year 3’s had to analyse and compare and use it to inspire the writing of their own original animal poems.  But as if this were not challenging enough – they also had to include some new grammar knowledge that they had acquired through their online learning lessons.  Each poem had to include a few verbs and adjectives, an adverb and at least one noun phrase!

Students selected an animal of their own choosing and …. boy, did their creative juices start flowing! Stimulated by their online lessons and armed with their new knowledge, Year 3 set out to write the most amazing poems. A plan was formed, a rough draft created and finally they were ready to publish their poetry. They wrote poems about a peacock, dog, hamster, tiger, tortoise …. and even an alpaca!Well done Year 3… you are all true poets in the making!
