In literacy we have begun looking at poetry. We thought of wow words to describe things, using each sense. We read lots of sense poems, one of our favourites was "That's What I like by Janice Johnston, here it is to read at home...
That’s what I Like
Giant slides and swings
Kites on long strings
Smiles Grandma brings
That’s what I like to see.
Loud music and bells
Giggles and yells
Stories mum tells
That’s what I like to hear.
Sweeties to munch
Carrots that crunch
Ice cream for lunch
That’s what I like to taste.
Freshly baked bread
Shampoo on my head
Clean sheets on my bed
That’s what I like to smell.
Silky smooth ribbons
Soft purring kittens
Warm woollen mittens
That’s what I like to touch.
By Janice Johnston
After we had read and discussed the poem, we practised reading it together with actions. Then we worked as a team to create our own version of the poem. Here we are performing our finished poem...
Please leave a comment about our poem, or perhaps you could think of some more lines we could add?
