READING – Poetry Fun

Today we are going to read a little poetry. Poems are awesome ways to express yourself and explain how you are feeling.

1. Your task today is to read a selection of poetry. We suggest around 15 minutes of reading time. We have some resources listed below;
   a) At the End of the driveway – CLICK HERE
   b) My teacher doesn’t get me! – CLICK HERE and for more poems by Judi Billcliff click here.
   c) Visit Wordsorama to read some other poems – CLICK HERE
2. Once you read at least three poems, select the best line or the best word from each poem. Write these on your worksheet or book.
   This is a good way to look at the way the author has used words and phrases.

WRITING – Write a poem

Today you are going to use New Zealand poet Paula Green to help us in our writing.
1. Firstly, listen to her read one of her latest poems.
