Halloween Rainbow Poems

Today, we continued writing some poetry. As part of our lesson about similes, the children wrote using the colours of the rainbow as part of their inspiration. Below are poems by Sian and Matilda, who chose to add a Halloween theme to their work.

A Rainbow Is…

As red as a strawberry, nice and juicy 

As orange as a goldfish, breathing in the water 

As yellow as a pot of gold, underneath this rainbow

As green as a pear, hanging on a tree

As blue as some water, in the bathroom sink 

As purple as a plum, ripe and bright 

by Oliver B.

3JC-DA Gargoyle Poems

Early this term, 3JC/DA have been writing poems about Gargoyles. We based it on a poem we read as a class and then wrote poems concentrating on using adjectives and nouns to create exciting descriptions.

Here are some of our examples:

Gargoyle

Stuffy grey spotty hard gargoyle

Sat on the highest peak!

As silent as the wind

Great anger, safely looking among us!

Forgotten, magnificent creature!

By Tia C

Gargoyle

The still strong gargoyle sitting by the roof.

One rocky gargoyle sits as still as a stone.

Two grey gargoyles looking down.

Three hard gargoyles waiting patiently.

Four dangerous gargoyles.

By John P

Gargoyle

Large protector,    

Grey protector, 

As scary as a statue,

A holy creature,     

A still beast.

By Mimi S
