To begin our poetry unit, we thought of vocabulary linked to the theme of war. The children in Class Three explored a range of famous war poems, including ‘Dulce et Decorum est’, ‘The Solder’ and ‘How to Die’. We revised the use of metaphorical language in preparation for creating metaphors, similes, personification and alliteration about different war images. After making comparisons between the poetry and considering the different moods conveyed by the poets, the children chose a favourite style to inspire their own writing. The children in Class Three then presented and performed their poetry to the class. A brilliant effort!
