This afternoon we started our writing block on acrostic poetry. We were learning how to recognise the features of acrostic poems. The p3’s learnt that acrostics have a topic word hidden in the first letter of each line and that we can look for the poem’s theme by reading the first letters vertically.

We then decided to write our own poems about fireworks. We looked at a picture of fireworks first and created a word bank describing the fireworks. Here are just some of P3’s suggestions… (we wrote even more in our jotters!)

Next we wrote the word vertically down the page in capital letters and we got writing! Some excellent ideas for our first attempts at independent writing!
