Quick Catch Up
I've been doing a lot of sessions connected to the opening of the River Roch in Rochdale, facilitating creative writing in the form of poetry with Key Stage One and Two children from schools round the borough at Touchstones, Rochdale. The stuffed animals with their sounds available at the touch of a button has helped.
Forgotten - but not gone!
I can't believe I've ignored my blog for so long,
Last week I was at Bowlee Primary, Langley, in the borough of Rochdale for some Festive Poetry Fun with year four.
Each of the three year four groups wrote a Kenning, with children working in pairs. The riddle form of the poem suits itself well to Christmas presents - can you guess what the present is? As the groups had been working hard on simile and metaphor we also wrote a class poem on either - a donkey; Rudolf or Santa.
My long-ago-learned Native American chant "Fly like an eagle" seemed to fit - as it contains both simile and metaphor
Fly like an eagle
Fly so high
All around the universe
On wings of pure light
