Y3 – Seasonal Poetry

Year 3 – Seasonal Poetry

This half term the children were very lucky to have a visit from a poet. They took part in a poetry workshop and created their very own line poems. The children learnt about similes and began to use these in their poetry.

During our writing lesson we went outside and looked at the trees in our orchard. We thought about the different things they would see, hear, feel and smell and created a class list. The children had great fun pretending to be a tree and they had some amazing ideas to use in their poetry.

Back in the classroom, the children shared their ideas and discussed adjectives that could be use to describe the tree trunk, the leaves, the air, the wind and the sky. We then discussed how these words could be used to create different similes.
