At Peterbrook the children and teachers really enjoy reading, writing and sharing poetry!! Do you have a poem that you would like to share as a podcast? Contact us via the 'Guestbook' and we'll podcast it!!
Year 4 have started their poetry unit by looking at poems with the common theme of flies. They have read 'The Fly' by William Blake and various others. The children have then written their own poems, enjoy!
The Peterbrook Socially Speaking Group have just finished a topic of work on friendship. Each child in the group has written their own friendship poem. We hope you enjoy them!!
Friday 6th February was a very snowy day where the children in Year 1 decided to remember the beautiful snowscape outside their classroom windows by writing their own acrostic poems. The next step was to perform them for Radio Peterbrook. Enjoy!!
Literacy is great fun, especially when you get to perform your poems with your teacher!! This week our Year 2 pupils have been looking at fabulous poems for performance and have decided how to present them with sound effects and excitement. We hope you like their poems!!
During this term Year 3 have looked at shape poems. Miss Taylor’s group have written their own poem based on going down into the cellar. Mrs Clayton’s group have written their own poem about the horrible things that might be found in the deep dark cellar. Get ready to be spooked!!
Today is 'Mothering Sunday' and at school each class has been a hive of activity preparing for this important day when Peterbrook mums are treated by their children. This podcast represents a small part of that whole school effort - here we have 32 acrostic poems beautifully written on the word 'MOTHER'. Enjoy your day mums!!
It's exciting writing poetry! Haiku poetry is originally from Japan and it is unusual because it is written to a strict syllable structure of 5 syllables (line 1), 7 syllables (line 2) and 5 syllables (final line). Enjoy these super Christmas efforts!! Well done to our young poets: Rhianna, Jack G., Joe, Kayleigh, Amy, Maddie, Taylor, Reece, Shayna, Emily, Tia, Jessica and Amelia!!
The children have been reading a range of different poems, discussing images and creating a vivid picture. Here is a selection of poems they would like to share with you....
This term Year 4 have been studying stories and poems from other cultures. They have written the next part of the poem 'Adventures of Isabel'
Isabel met an enormous bear,
Isabel, Isabel, didn't care;
The bear was hungry, the bear was ravenous,
The bear's big mouth was cruel and cavernous.
The bear said, Isabel, glad to meet you,
How do, Isabel, now I'll eat you!
Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry,
Isabel didn't scream or scurry.
She washed her hands and she straightened her hair up,
Then Isabel quietly ate the bear up.
