Year 3 news
20 Nov 2015
This week in year 3, the children have enjoyed learning all about performance poetry. We have read different poems by the poet Roger McGough. We used these poems to practice our own performance reading and to learn how to use onomatopoeia and personification. Of course we couldn't let the week end without trying to write a poem to perform ourselves!
Below is an amazing example of the work that was produced.
The Sound Collector
by Arsene
A sound collector came this morning
Dressed all in purple and grey
Put every sound into a bag
And quickly crept away.
The barking of the dog
The purring of the cat
The hissing of the snake
The squealing of the bat.
The popping of the popcorn
The microve yells "I'm done!"
The croaking of the frog
The tiger roaring fun.
The bath persuded me to relax
The gurgle of the drain
The chopping of the knife
To feed the family again.
A stranger called this morning
He didn't leave his name
Left us only with silence
Life will never be the same.
