Charlotte: “In P3/4 we have been learning to write Cinquain Poems. When you have finished your Cinquain poem, it should be in the shape of a diamond.”

Georgia: “In P3/4, we have also been writing acrostic poems about our USA topic.”

Kathryn: “We’ve been learning about syllables. You have to clap for each beat in the word. We were using words from the USA.”

Luca: “In a Cinquain, there are 5 lines. The 1st one has 2 syllables, the next has 4, the next has 6 then 8 then back to 2 syllables again. Then you’re done.”

Elliot: “We also wrote our own Cinquain poems and we had to do a mindmap of ideas, a practice then the final piece of work.”

Adrien: “The first line is about a place, the second line is adjectives, the thrid line is verbs, the 4th line is about your feelings and the last line is something random.”

Cameron: “You have to write words that describe the place and not something completely different.”

Laura: “When we were doing the Cinquain poems, we were doing different colours to represent each line.”
