In English, the children have been learning the features of and writing a range of poems including: haiku poems and cinquain poems.

Today the children learnt about the features of limericks and had a go at writing their own.

They worked in pairs and used an online rhyming dictionary on the i’pads to help them find rhyming words then had good fun writing their own limerick poems.

There was lots of laughter in the class as the children worked….A great, fun lesson!

Here are a few of their poems:

There was a small child named Bea

Who liked to play ball in the sea

She played with the cat

She’d jump, run and splat

And she always got things for free!

 

There once was a boy names Jeff

Who liked to play chess with the chef

Who liked to eat all the food

When he was in a good mood

But then he sadly turned deaf!

 

There was once a Minion called Bob

Who really cared about his job

He frightened his fish

That lived in a dish

Then ran and turned into a blob!

 

There was a boy names Mark

Who liked to be in the dark

He liked to play ball

and liked to play with all

with a friend named Lark.
