St Pauls Catholic Primary SchoolYear 5 Christmas Poetry Homework!!
Date: 13th Dec 2015 @ 1:06pm
This week, Year 5 have been drafting some Christmas poetry! They have used a selection of the grammar targets from this year so far and the poems are looking fantastic. We have used this video to help us generate some ideas: https://www.literacyshed.com/the-christmas-shed.html.
For homework, I would like you to draft and write another Christmas poem. As well as putting your final draft on this blog, you could write another one, decorate it and give it to somebody for Christmas. You can either use the Snowman Video, The Man on the Moon Video (https ://www.literacyshed.com/manonmoon.html) or your imagination for ideas.
If you are peer marking other poems, make sure you refer to grammar and vocabulary (as well as ideas).
