Reciting poetry

This week, the children have been exploring how poets create images by using sound words (onomatopoeia) and  expanded noun phrases. Here are the children presenting poems using varied expression and actions for the sound words. 

The children had fun thinking of special sounds which they would like to put in a personal magic box. Manveer decided on clinking pearls and Ben on the thud of a footballer's boot.

I'm very much looking forward to reading the children's Magic Box poems which they will be completing next week.
