We have just started learning about poetry and rhyming couplets and have been writing group poems!
Each student wrote two rhyming couplets on a theme of their choice then emailed this to another student who added another two rhyming sentences before emailling it all on to another student and so on!
What will our poetry end up like?

but I play good games with my dad

When we play we use toy guns.

Games are very bad
and it make me very sad

I really like it a lot.
Beach
I look at the sky
And see a bird fly

Candy
Candy is sweet
Way better than meat
I eat candy all day,
It is so good I eat it everyday!

But I sometimes I end being a stall,
But I mange to stroll past the goal.

The snowflakes drifted gently onto the ground,
Making a little twinkly sound,

And here comes the man with the big googles

Monica is such a naughty child,
She throws plates and knifes and runs wild.
She must be a real fuss to handle

She started pulling hairs off my chest
Beach
The sand is hot,the sun is hot
I think pretty sure the pot is hot
