Poetry in Y5

Year 5 focused on the poem ‘At the end of the day’ by Matt Goodfellow. During guided reading we discussed the characters in the poem, how they were related and whether they had a good relationship or not. The children then worked in groups to create their own free verse poem including a teacher and a pupil. 
After that, they reflected on the original poem shared and thought about what they would write in their own notebook. They then developed these ideas to form an original poem.
