We are learning to write poems

The children in Room 9 have been writing a variety of poems.  They have used extended abstract thinking as they have reflected on times that made them feel happy or bored.

Happiness is.....
Happiness is going to the beach on a blistering hot summers day.
Happiness is sitting inside doing nothing and then it starts hailing so you run outside and collect hail in containers.
Happiness is staying up until midnight and eating junk food.

By Briana.

Boredom is.....
Boredom is a dull, grey world with nothing fun to do.
Boredom is having no fantastic toy store to drag your mum into.
Boredom is being blistering hot on a day that you have been naughty and your brother gets an ice cream and tortures you with it.
