As well as story-writing we have also been looking at poetry and really enjoyed learning about nonsense poetry.
We found out about lots of amazing language features like Onomatopoeia – words that actually sound just like the thing they are describing. We used our phonics skills to spot rhyming words and pick out the clever way words can be used to make the reader smile and think. After producing some fabulous drawing showing scenes from the poem, On the Ning Nang Nong, we then went on to have a go at being poets ourselves.
