On the Friday before we broke up for our holiday, as part of our outdoor learning we took part in a ‘Poetree’ activity. Mr Reed introduced us to this by sharing a poem that he had written about trees.

We then went outside with whiteboards and sat under, next to, near, in and around different trees in our playground and began to write poems about what we saw, felt, heard and smelt. Once we had some lines of poetry we then wrote them up on the computer.

This week we have been editing our work, we gave feedback to each other’s poems and then used the feedback to make changes to our own poems. Our new and improved poems were again typed up and then printed. We then illustrated our work before they were laminated and tomorrow we are going to place them on the trees that we wrote about.

Here are a few pictures of us as we wrote our first drafts of our ‘poetree’.
