Trying new things


We have been reading and writing lots of fantastic poetry about food. We tried a new food, dried cranberries. Some people loved them, some didn't but everyone agreed they were strange and wrinkly! We used our five senses to think of describing words for the cranberries and then we used them to write our poems. We also used similes in our work, can you spot them?

Dried Cranberry
It looks slimy and wrinkly.
It feels oily and bumpy.
It smells sweet and sour.
It looks wrinkly like old people.

Dried Cranberry
It looks tiny and wrinkly.
It feels squishy and bumpy.
It smells juicy and sweet.
It tastes silky and juicy.
It looks like a red scribble.

Jealousy


We are learning a new poem called jealousy. Miss B read us the poem and then we had to find examples of personification in it. We wrote our own poems Sometimes I'm jealous sometimes I'm not but i am right now so i look like a monster.
