Exploring onomatopoeia!

We had lots of fun today preparing for writing our weather poems. We learnt all about onomatopoeia and thought about which words sound like different kinds of weather.

Here are the zig-zag books we made!

We shared our books with our friends...

Which of these words will you use in your weather poem?

What's in the toy box?

The Wrens have been writing more toy poems! We looked at a poem written by Trevor Millum and this inspired us to create our own versions. Here are some snippets of the poems we wrote:

What's in the toy box?

What's in the toy box?

What's in the box?

What's in the box 

With the big brass locks?

There's a crane

And a really fast train,

There's a silver clock

And a shiny rock,

Some lego bricks 

And an x-box one,

There's some beautiful hearts

And a lovely piece of art,

There's a gigantic mat

And a fan that flaps,

Some red bouncing balls

And a massive swimming pool,

There's some people who walk

And a teddy bear that talks,

A shiny white Ford

And a swimming award,

There's some shoes to wear

And a grizzly bear,

There's a bus that is green

And a house that is clean,

There's a monster truck

And a yellow duck,

There's a cute little cat

And a dancing mat,

There's some remote control trains

And a flying plane,

There's a dumper truck

And a red and black duck,

There's a wooden sign

And a white and black combine,

There's a red ted

And a blue bed,

Some clowns that frown

And a king that sings,

Some dolls wearing hats

And a rounder's bat,

Some crowns that glow

And a machine that sews,

There's a big dino

And a fierce rhino.

That's what's in the toy box!

That's what's in the box!

You can tell by our faces that we are very proud of the poems that we wrote!

Well done Wrens!!!

It's raining, it's pouring!

We have linked our learning in Literacy to the work we are doing in Geography by using our senses to describe what the weather looks, sounds and feels like.

When we came into school on Friday we were all very wet!  We saw this as an opportunity to write some rainy day poetry.

Some of us wrote phrases that we could turn into poems whilst others decided they wanted to get straight on with the poetry writing itself!   

Listen to some the lovely descriptions of the rain that we wrote.

Some of us included some rhymes - can you hear them?

We will post some more of our fantastic poetry very soon!
