Primary 4 Poets

January 13, 2017 User deactivated

We have been learning about the features of poetry.

We have been enjoying reading poems written by Roger McGough. We have been reading different poems he has written such as ‘Bully Night’ and ‘The Fight of the Year’.

We have been making up our own versions of ‘Bully Night’.

‘I thought it was really fun being able to make our own verses’ Nico.

As well as learning new poems we have been learning about different figures of speech, including Personification and Onomatopoeia.

‘I liked finding out about the different poems.’ Callum

‘We learnt the meaning of onomatopoeia, it was hard.’ Zak

‘I thought Bully Night was good’. Ella

Last week we came to school dressed as what we would like to be when we are older.

We spoke to other people in our class about the skills and qualities we would need to do that job and why we would like to do it.

In our writing we also wrote about the careers we would like and why we had chosen them.

“It was fun that we got dress up and see what other people wanted to be when they are older” – Dylan

“I liked seeing other people’s costumes” – Daniel

“I would like to be a Chemical Engineer because I really like mixing different liquids” – Eloise

Primary 2.2 had fun celebrating World Book Day. We dressed up as our favourite book characters.
Can you guess who everybody is?

We shared our favourite books as a class and read extracts from them.
Sarah was dressed up as Dorothy and showed us her favourite book ‘The Wizard of Oz’.
We had a variety of lots of different fantastic books!

We read the story of Alice in Wonderland and created our own story endings.

We created hats and decorated delicious biscuits for the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.

We had a fantastic time at our Tea Party and Alice even came too!

On Friday we finished our World Book Day celebrations by having a book swap with our class.
Once we had swapped our books we had some silent reading time to enjoy our new stories.
