Discovering poetry!

 Poetry

Reading and writing can be lots of fun,
Especially when we share it with everyone!
Metaphors, similes, and personification
And getting to leave out some punctuation

Haikus, colour poems and stanzas
Might make you go bananas.
Poems can be expressed in many ways,
I can write tones all the days!

Silly, rhyming and definitely funny
We will make lots of money,
Because our poems are the best
I believe they are better than all the rest!

The Grade Fives have been exploring poetry for the last two weeks; they have been reading poems from various books, and writing their own poems. It is great how they were able to have fun and be silly in their poetry writing as that builds a love for literature and writing.

The students wrote many different types of poems and then chose a favorite to illustrate and make into a good copy.

Below are all the finished good copies.


*Remember to keep reading and writing poetry*
