Well we have had Day One with our poet, Alice, this week, working outside and beginning to look at the world around us in new ways and with new imagination.
The snow added some extra sparkle and magic to the experience.
' the snow makes things which usually look boring, look different and interesting' (Y3 child)
We have started to record ideas, sketches and words in our poetry journals now and the children are keen to share their ideas with each other and to read their work aloud.
Alliteration and simile/metaphor are already being used without any prompting;
'the pond shivers...the playground smiles...the tree is like a jellyfish with a walking stick.'
Will be good to see how all of this develops.
