Today, Year 4 were lucky enough to have a visitor from the British Library to deliver a workshop all about poetry. It was fantastic!
We began by learning a little bit about the British Library and found out some cool facts. Did you know the British Library have a copy of every single book published in the UK?
We then learnt about MORERAPS as a tool for writing poetry.
Metaphors
Onomatopoeia
Repetition
Emotion
Rhyme
Alliteration
Personification
Similes
We wrote a class poem by each choosing an element of MORERAPS and writing one line about a dog which we then put together into one poem – it was great!
To finish, all your children had a go at writing their own poem about a topic of their choosing. They did a first draft and then once they were happy, we wrote them up neatly. They were brilliant!
