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
