This week in Literacy - W/C: 26/03/12

This week in Literacy we will be re-visiting the wonders of poetry. We will be reading, writing and reciting poetry thinking carefully about what makes a good poem taking account of punctuation, sound patterns and different forms of presentation. We will be using simple poetry structures to make a substitute for our own ideas - by this doing this will create our own poetry. To support your child in their learning at home, why not have a go at this? Find a poem either in a book or on the Internet and change a few of the words around... it doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense - it is all about exploring language and having fun! Can you think of a better adjective to describe what the poet is seeing?
