The start of the week included the usual TED-Ed videos and BBC Guides, looking at things like rhyming, alliteration, metaphors, what makes a poem a poem, and the poetic form:
Hungry Harry had a hot and hairy house, in the house Harry had a ho ho hula hoop.The Poetry Society have an extensive collection of education resources. We worked through the guide to The Jumblies, watched an animated reading of the poem, and drew our own interpretation of the Jumblies:

Solomon's Jumblie |
We also explored the Missing: Daisy poem in the Poetry Train booklet, with Solomon writing his own version about a missing parrot:
Anyone seen my parrot?
Small and red,
Blue and yellow,
Squawk the smelly parrot.
She loves her babies,
She likes her cage,
She hates her poos.
Anyone seen my parrot?...
I miss her talks,
I miss her squawks,
I miss her lovely feathers.
Anyone seen my parrot?...
Next week's project: Metals
