Today our class had the pleasure of learning from the fabulous teacher Ms Moloney. She gave us a procedure which taught us how to write ‘String Poems’. Have a look and listen to our fantastic poems! Thanks to the wonderful Ms Moloney for teaching us!! Stay tuned for more to be posted soon!

Big THANKS to all the Mums, Aunties, Grandmas and Teachers who took the time to come spend the afternoon with us! It meant the world to us!! Love ya 2 pieces!

 We have been learning about different types of poetry in our writing classes.   Here is a very special poem written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae who was a Canadian poet, physician, author, artist and soldier during World War I. He was born in Guelph, Ontario and died in France in 1918. What do you think about when you read this poem? How does it make you feel? Is this a structured poem or free verse?

Figurative language is something that makes books more enjoyable to read and makes our writing more interesting. Figurative language is used in poetry, songs, narratives or when we are talking to our friends are family. Watch the videos below to refresh your mind about the different types of figurative language. Can you think of any other examples of figurative language? Please share in your comments below.
