Phuket Poems!

Gill and I were inspired by our phonic words this week and wanted to incorporate them into our theme. After much discussion we came up with the idea of using rhyming phonic words in a short poem. We sat together and wrote one and were very excited to get our classes to do so as well.

After a discussion on rhyming words, we got the children to brainstorm some that could be used to describe the sights in Phuket that we have spoken about this week. This proved a real challenge for some!! However, we soldiered on! 

All our ideas were pooled,then the children got into pairs to write their own poems. We gave them the beginning and end of the poem, and asked them to write about 3 attractions or activities.

Well, with a lot of encouragement, further brainstorming and explaining, I am pleased to say each pair produced a poem!

Do enjoy reading them!
