We have had a lovely day today celebrating National Poetry Day! We found quotations from famous poems all around the school- can you remember any? Which was your favourite?
This afternoon, we wrote our own poem! We worked as a class on a poem train- writing one line, then passing it on to a classmate.
Here's the fabulous final poem:
Haunted Forest
The forest was as dark
as an ebony dragon,
Splish! Splash! Splosh!
The rain poured down,
Bang! Crash! Stones hit the ground
and cracked in half,
Suddenly lava started to pour out, it
was horrific,
All the dragons started to leave the country,
They were all scared of the Lava,
Bang crash the conkers fell off the trees,
The trees started to fall down,
The wolves were running from the trees scared and
shivering as they run,
All of a sudden it went silent,
Then the noise of trees
creaking,
Everywhere there was lava- I
had to
get out of
there,
Then suddenly… whoosh! A ghastly ghost emerged
from the lava,
How can
I escape?
I looked back but an army of ghosts were behind
me I searched for a wat to get out,
Scary
and goulish the forest was,
The
trees fell as I looked back,
A tree which looked like a bear,
Its arms were creaking out towards me,
Lumps
and monstrous eyes,
Birds flapping their wings,
The
moonlit sky above me, I feel a cool breeze blow past,
Under a
green mossy tree, a flock of birds screech by,
I heard a scream and stumbled,
Tree twigs fell to the muddy ground,
I’d never seen anything like it before,
The
creatures started to approach,
Something grabbed me as I sank into the ground.
