Year 4 have been learning about different types of poetry this week including haikus, tankas, cinquains and limericks. Here of some of the highlights!
Limericks:
There was horse with a golden main,
who went for a ride on a train,
he pranced around
and fell to the ground,
then went back to do it again.
By Lewis
There was once a man from Mars
who used to love chocolate bars
he cooked a few dozen
but they got trapped in the oven
oh that silly old man from Mars.
By Caleb
There was a man from Ealing
who has spots on his ceiling
he could not wear a hat
his head was too fat
and it gave him a funny old feeling
By Jake
Haikus:
People are shouting,
Summer is our reigning king!
Summer rules the world.
By Joshua
Leaves are descending.
It is getting windy now.
Trees are growing bold.
By Joshua
Tankas:
The cliff was huge,
long, wet hall with the water
drizzling from the side
like treacle from a sponge cake
It sparkles in the sunlight.
By Harvey
Up above the trees
Blueburds and Sparrows will fly
Up in the blue sky
over rainbows and clouds.
All the way. Up in the sky.
By Harvey

Flying, jumping, swinging,
I feel painfull, scared, shocked
Careful…
