Rhyming poetry!

Thursday

Burton C of E Primary School: I tried something new with this group, something I’ve not tried before! Poetry Soup – which for us involved filling various envelopes with rhyming words as well as creepy words, nature words and so on. The idea is then you mix them up in a bowl like soup, pluck some out and attempt to write a poem. We will try making poems next week but it was good fun filling the envelopes!
