In 2-3W we have been looking at poetry. We have learnt that poems can be rhyming or non-rhyming, structured or unstructured, long or short, funny or sad! To begin with, we used our five senses to describe the outdoors, and turned this into a poem:

Outside I see the strong wind blowing in the trees - Hunter
Outside I hear the birds chirping happily - Layla
Outside I taste icicles falling gently onto my tongue - Darcy
Outside I smell wood burning fiercely from the lightning – Willow
Outside I feel calm with the trees – Harper

We then learned about similes and how we can compare one thing to another to make our descriptions more vivid. We used similes to describe the colours of the rainbow:

Red is like a beautiful blooming rose on a prickly bush – Margot
Orange is like the sunset, going down for the night – Ruby
Yellow is like the warm sand at the beach – Kane
Blue is like the sparkling pond in my backyard - Kobi
Green is like the leaves swaying on the branches in spring - Sasha
Indigo is like the aurora bursting with colour – Ellie
Violet is like flowers blooming – Sophia
