Y3 – Seasonal Poetry

Year 3 – Seasonal Poetry

This half term the children were very lucky to have a visit from a poet. They took part in a poetry workshop and created their very own line poems. The children learnt about similes and began to use these in their poetry.

During our writing lesson we went outside and looked at the trees in our orchard. We thought about the different things they would see, hear, feel and smell and created a class list. The children had great fun pretending to be a tree and they had some amazing ideas to use in their poetry.

Back in the classroom, the children shared their ideas and discussed adjectives that could be use to describe the tree trunk, the leaves, the air, the wind and the sky. We then discussed how these words could be used to create different similes. 

What The Student Says

“I enjoyed creating these poems because there are lots of bright colours and I enjoyed thinking about summer.”

“I learnt that in different seasons, the trees are different colours.”

“I liked writing the poems because when we used all the adjectives we could write really good sentences.”

“I enjoyed going outside and pretending to be a tree."

What skills were developed?

  • developed their communication and language skills

  • developed their drama and role play skills

  • focussed on using similes in their work

  • discussed and recorded their ideas

  • used a range of vocabulary to give well structured descriptions

What the Teacher says

It was lovely to see the children enjoying their poetry workshop and sharing their poems with their friends. They were thrilled with the poetry they had written. The children thought really carefully about appropriate similes to use in their work and we are really proud of the work they  have produced.
