Term 4 – Poetry

Published by MrC at 11:39 pm under Uncategorized




Wow, where does the time go?  Already we are in week 4 of term 4, almost nearing the end of the year and so much more to do!!!

So far this term we have been writing poetry, beginning with limericks (which are short, sharp pieces of poetry designed for humour)  Here are a couple of examples that the students have come up with so far…

There was a rabbit named Hare
Who never did nothing but glare
Then cried his mum
“I’m cross with you son,
because it’s always rude to stare!”

There was a chocolate called Crunch
Who had a friend called Sponge
But then one day
They were taken away
And both were eaten for lunch!

Your task Room 1 is to finish this limerick…(don’t forget the rhyme and rhythm patterns)

There was a young man from Norway…

    There was a young man from Norway
    Who cartwheeled down the hallway
    He loved to shout
    And jump about
    When answered on his 4-way

    Not my best work but Norway’s hard!

    There was a young man from Norway
    Who couldn’t get though the doorway
    He wasn’t to wide
    Or he wasn’t to thin
    He is just a typical man from Norway

    Yeah I agree with Alyx its not that good but I cant think of anything that will rhyme with Norway

    There was a young man from Norway
    that wanted to go on Broadway
    he wasn’t to dumb
    but worth a tone
    he is just a fat old doorway.

    There was a youngman from Norway
    That couldn’t fit through his doorway
    He had a thumb
    Stuck up his bum
    So he went to the Broadway

    I don’t think it is that great though. After a lot of thinking!

    There was a young man from Norway
    Who loved to visit Broadway
    With a great big bang
    It started to hang
    Now he visits the gateway

    There was a young man from Norway
    Who run up and down the hallway
    His name is Mike
    He rid a bike
    And he rid into a doorway

    There was a young man from Norway
    Who never had anything to say
    He was the silent man
    From the clan
    And he was born in May

    Mr C this was really hard I hope this fits.

    who had a big hallway
    his name was mat
    and sat on a hat
    who saw the countey norway

    There was a young man from Norway
    who couldnt get through the doorway
    he wanted a date
    his name was mate
    so he just stood in the doorway

    There was a young man from norway
    who nocked his head on the doorway
    he fell out of bed
    nocked his head
    and sang it’s a moray

    thanks for the tip Mr C.
