5MO have loved the beginning of their poetry unit! We started by reading poetry for pleasure and discussing which poems we liked the most and why. We then delved into personification, writing some super sentences which gave objects or animals human characteristics. Linking to our Finland & UK comparison topic, we looked at photographs and videos of Finnish landscapes and wildlife to inspire our personification poetry. We have planned our ideas this week, and will write and perform then next!

We’ve also loved having sessions with Rob from the Rep theatre! He is helping us to learn about Finland and the UK by using drama activities.
