Animal Poetry
Over the course of five lessons, children begin by listening to, discussing and performing a humorous animal poem, before exploring the features that make funny poems enjoyable to read aloud and perform, including rhyme, alliteration and nonsense words.

Using a familiar poem pattern, children write and improve their own humorous animal poem before rehearsing and confidently performing it to an audience, bringing together their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills.
