Our poetry topic continues with limericks!

This week all our groups have been having fun with limericks – funny 5 line poems with a particular rhyming scheme of AABBA. They often introduce a character and/or a place and then something funny happens. As you can imagine, limericks were very popular this week and we had many fantastic responses!

Monday

CJS Monday Club: As this group enjoyed found poetry so much last week, I brought that in again for them to explore a bit more. But we also looked at limericks and wrote one together. Then everyone had a go at writing their own. Many limericks then morphed into four, five and even six stanza poems as the stories grew longer! Absolutely brilliant!

Tuesday

11 Plus Zoom Group: This group also had an excellent response to limerick writing. We had some funny ones, and also an eerie, dark limerick that then grew into a three stanza poem! Again, it was lovely to see poems growing and evolving into longer pieces!

Bransgore C of E Primary School: This group also fully embraced the limericks and had a lot of fun writing a group one together! Well done everyone.

Wednesday

Older Zoom Group: More fun with limericks, some funny, some scary! It was lovely to see how many grew into longer poems or sparked off story ideas!

Younger Zoom Group: A fantastic and enthusiastic response from this group too, with plenty of lovely and silly limericks being written in the session!

CJS Wednesday Club: We learnt how to write a limerick and wrote one together as a class. Everyone then had a go at writing their own and many children were very happy to share their proudly at the end! Fantastic!

Thursday

Burton C of E Primary School: We all wrote a funny limerick together and then everyone had a go at writing their own. We also had a fun vote on which one was the funniest at the end! Well done all!
