Class 2 had a superb morning creating their own poetry. We were inspired by the book 'The Lost Words' by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris. We focused on the poem 'Bluebell' where we looked at rhyming words, repetition and the image that the poem creates for us as readers. After looking at this, we created our own daffodil acrostic poem that repeated the theme of yellow. The teachers were blown away by the children's vocabulary and description. Take a look at our poem!
Diamond, yellow gems gleam in the sun
Arched over like a rainbow
Flowing streams of yellow
Fighting to get sunlight through the spiky, green trees
Orange bursts of colour in the middle
Down on the ground spreads a yellow sandy beach
In the wind, they wobble like jelly
Lots of yellow sprinkles shining in the sparkling Spring
Summer looks forward to the beautiful, golden daffodils
