Kicking off the theme of our next book and a half-term of poetry!

Monday

CJS Monday Club: Today we kicked off our new theme/topic for our next book. The theme is portals, other dimensions, worlds and realities and we are starting with poetry this half-term. For our first session we looked at list poems – what is a list poem, examples of list poems and how to write a list poem. We wrote a portal themed list poem together to start us off. We had lots of children wanting to write their list poems about portals and other worlds so we were able to add new content to the new book already! Fantastic!

Tuesday

11 Plus Zoom Group: We introduced the new topic for the book and kicked off with list poetry. Again, wonderful responses from the young writers and some portal themed poems added to the book! Well done all!

Bransgore C of E Primary School: Everyone was excited to kick off the new book topic and everyone helped write a wonderfully crazy list poem together. Again, we had plenty of wonderful portal themed poems to add to the new book after! A great start.

Wednesday

Older Zoom group: We looked at a few longer and more complex list poems with this group and then everyone got stuck into writing their own, and again, lots of these got added to the new book! Well done all.

Younger Zoom group: The younger group also embraced the new book topic and got busy writing list poems on various topics! Brilliant work from all.

Wednesday CJS Club: Another enthusiastic response to our new book topic. We started by writing a portal themed list poem ourselves and then everyone wrote their own.

Thursday

Burton C of E Primary School: We introduced the new topic and learnt what a list poem is. We then wrote a list poem together on the board about things we might find inside a magical portal. Everyone then had a go at writing their own list poem! Wonderful work, well done everyone!
