Room 5 doing the Mango Tango!

Poetry and Joy

In Writing we have begun to write poetry.

To get started we went on a Joy Hunt to get some inspiration to write similes about being joyous.

We explored the playground find out to what joy looked and sounded like.

We then found the freshly cut grass on the field and explored to find out what joy felt and smelt like.

Our poems turned out rich with describing words and personal voice - the perfect poem 

(even though they don't rhyme.)

Look out on the next blog for our finished poems or pop in to the classroom to have a read.
