Bonfire Poetry

Last week we undertook some cross-curricular learning incorporating our history topic of the gunpowder plot into our literacy topic. On the Friday, we were lucky enough attend a forest school session where we had a bonfire, sang campfire songs and tried marshmallows. We then used our experiences of the bonfire to inspire our writing of poetry. We concentrated on our senses and considered the sights, smells, tastes, feels and sounds of the bonfire when writing our poems. The year 2 children tried their hands at acrostic poetry whist the Year 1 children wrote some wonderful descriptive poetry. The Year 2 children also produced some wonderful creative writing after looking at photos and videos of fireworks.
