Year 5/6

English

The 5/6 Students have been continuing to plan, draft and publish some great poetry. We explored the structure and idea of Kennings poems this week. Students provided feedback to each other building a word bank before drafting. 

Kennings poems have several verses, three lines per verse and two words that are topic specific or descriptive of the topic. Enjoy reading some of the students work.
