Rachel Clarke says “As teachers when we use poetry with children we are modeling how to read it, building familiarity with it, and widening children’s reading horizons,”

In poetry, we learn how to put words together to form meaning and context. We learn how to choose the right words to create imagery and effect.

Writing poetry is a transferable skill that will help children write in other ways and styles.

Let's demonstrate how creative we are by writing poems all together!

PREPRIMARY - YOUNG PRIMARY

Each country writes poems and the partner country illustrates them and upload the images on the padlet/ twinboard, below this page.

OLD PRIMARY:

Literacy contest: transnational teams completing adjusted " I am" poems that start with sentences like following:

Due to Covid-19, we modified the activity and pupils uploaded their poems on the Padlets:

Grade 3

• Tradition is….
• Tradition makes me feel…
• Tradition looks…

Grade 4

• Tradition makes me dream…
• I am...
• Tradition looks / sounds like / feels like / tastes like /

Good luck!
