Today is World Poetry Day.  We listened to some limericks and some were really funny!

Our favourite was –

There was a young man from  Leeds.

Who ate a whole packet of seeds.

In less than an hour

his nose was a flower

and his head was a garden of weeds!

 

We looked at a few and identified the rules for writing limericks.  we completed some of our own.

Here is one written by someone in our class –

There was a young man from France

who wanted to take a chance.

He played all day.

He won.  Hooray!

And his joy was heard all through France

 

This morning we also learned how to count to ten in Japanese.  Mrs McMillan had a really easy way to remember the words.  Why don’t you ask us to show you?
