Fun with poetry

This afternoon we have been reading some funny poems. A lot of them had rhyming words in and one, Betty Botter's Butter, had a lot of alliteration. Then we wrote a rhyming poem all about food we like. First we had to think of types of food that rhymed, like cheese and peas. Then we thought of words to describe some of these foods, like 'mushy peas', which Maddie said, and 'crunchy toast', which Rhys said. After 'hot mustard' Harry had the good idea of saying 'cold custard'. Here is our finished poem!

I like...
Melted cheese,
Mushy peas.

Crunchy toast,
Yummy roast.

Cornflakes,
Chocolate cakes.

Sweet strawberries,
Juicy cherries.

Hot mustard,
Cold custard.

Apple pips,
Potato chips!

We practised saying the poem with lots of rhythm and then we performed it for Miss Worsley!
