Year Two Blog

Last week in Literacy we wrote some beautiful poems about spring flowers. We looked, touched and smelled the flowers, describing them carefully. We tried to use some tools like simile and alliteration. Can you spot any? Please let us know what you think.
If the recordings keep pausing, press pause and wait for it to buffer – about 20 seconds should do it, then you can listen uninterrupted.

Off with the head hes in bed he feels relly ded.
Cut of his nose & put them on his tose.
Off with the neck it wont take a secc.
Off with the arms there in a farm.
Off with the beely my welly is eating my belly.
Off with the legs they look like pegs.
Off with the feet put them a streets.

Take a look at this beautiful bluebell wood. Can you use simile to describe the different things you can see? How would you feel if you were there? How would the wood smell? Could you describe the bluebells in an interesting way?

 
As we are doing lots of poetry this week, why not look at some of these great resources. Lots of recordings, videos and information about poetry. You could post your own poems as comments!

Here are two videos of children reading their poems. What do you think? Some others were recorded, but there was lots of noise in the background and it was hard to hear them. We will re-record them so don’t worry if your poem isn’t here yet!
