POETRY POPPERS FOR KS 2

Poetry can be exciting! The children will learn what goes into a poem and hear some widely varied examples. Each child will have a chance to write their own, as silly or weird as they like! 

  

 

AUTHOR EVENTS FOR SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES

I offer 30-minute assemblies for Years 1-6, to spark the children's imagination and promote reading for fun. My 50-minute "Poetry Poppers" workshop is suitable for classroom groups. (South Hampshire, UK). Children's events for local libraries are free. Please contact me for further details.

 

 

 The exercise below is just for fun!

 

Try "Hot Penning"

First decide what your story might be about. Then set a timer for three minutes and start writing quickly. Pretend that if you stop before the time is up, your pen will burst into flame! Keep on writing for the whole time until the buzzer sounds. Don't stop to make changes or check spelling or cross out. 

 

Afterwards you can go back and edit any mistakes. This exercise is to get you having FUN making up a story. You're probably more creative than you think!
