Today, Y6 had a virtual event with the one and only Michael Rosen!
He told us some fantastic tips about writing poems and invited us to join in while he told some very funny ones.
Help at home by writing a poem! Michael gave us some topic ideas to get us started: family, school, food or even jokes that rhyme like the one below!
Down behind the dustbin
I met a dog called Ted.
‘Leave me alone,’ he says,
‘I’m just going to bed.’Down behind the dustbin
I met a dog called Roger.
‘Do you own this bin?’ I said.
‘No. I’m only a lodger.’Down behind the dustbin
I met a dog called Sue.
‘What are you doing here?’ I said.
‘I’ve got nothing else to do.’Down behind the dustbin
I met a dog called Jim.
He didn’t know me
And I didn’t know him.
“Michael Rosen’s poems are very funny and inspirational,” said Rayhan.
“I really enjoyed it because I’m very good at imagining things. The word hyperbole reminds me of Herbology in Harry Potter,” shared Inayah.
“I’ve seen Michael Rosen before and I like his poems. They’re very interesting. Meeting the real man is a real honour because I’ve read loads of his poems. He gave us loads of advice which was like a dream come true!” beamed Joseph.
“He said his iconic nice!” added Harjas.
Aryan stated: “It was interesting and fun to watch because it brings me joy to see the actual Michael Rosen.”
