Children in Need

Children in 5/6B have been creating computer games using 2DIY. Children plan on making and selling a CD containing their games to raise money for Children in Need. Here are a some examples by Nenah, Balraj and Jeremiah.

Were just passing by.....

This week in Literacy we have been looking at poetry. We used the latest McDonald's advert as the basis for our poems. The poem is about all the different people who "pass by" a McDonalds restaurant. We analysed the poem and identified some of the techniques the poet had used to make the poem interesting. We then had a go at writing our own poems in a similar style. Here is Jayden's effort about a football match.

At the Game

Now the cheering types

and the fearing types

and the like to wear an earring types

were just passing by

And the cheering fans

with coke cans

who came to the game with their cheeky nans

were just passing by

And the playing guys

with shifty eyes

who try to win penalties by taking dives

were just passing by

The manager who is feared

and the coach with a long beard

and the substitutes who cheered

were just passing by

And the goalie who saved the ball

who is really tall

and the ball boys who are really small

were just passing by

And the referee

who drank his tea

at quarter to three

with a bad knee

who just wanted to go home and sit on his settee

was just passing by

There's a game for everyone

Here is Frankie's effort about the town centre.

Town

Now the funky types

the chunky types

and the pink headed punky types

were just passing by

The hip-hop teens

who eat beans

and who try not to be seen

were just passing by

The cheeky guys

who eat fries

and those who wear blue ties

were just passing by

The girly girls

who wear pearls

and have their hair in pretty curls

were just passing

The busy stores

with automatic doors

and workers busy with their chores

were just passing by

There's A Town For Everyone

Here is Hafeez's poem about the fun fair

There 's a fun fair for everyone

Now the cheeky types

and the freaky types

and the science loving geeky types

were just passing by

and the little guys

with happy eyes

and who came to the fair to have a surprise

were just passing by

the money spending guys

with the game lending guys

and the funny guys who dress up in bow ties

were just passing by

the lying teens

who aren't very keen

who are very mean

they aren't very clean

were just passing by

Here is a poem by Janieka and Kimran about the park

Theres a park for everyone.

Now the happy types

and the clappy types

and those who wear a nappy

were just passing by.

And the cheeky guys

with shifty eyes

and always pushing people off the slides

were just passing by.

And the grannies who are old

and men who are bold

and people who are shivering with cold

were just passing by.

And children who are tall

some children who are small

and some children with no shoes at all

were just passing by.

And the baby in a pram

being pushed by mam

who was eating some bread and jam

were passing by.

And the happy types

and the tatty types

and the one who loves their catty types

were just passing by.

The mad guys

the sad guys

the glad guys

and the bad guys

and people in the park with their dad guys

were just passing by.

There's a park for everyone

Similes and Metaphors

This week in Literacy we have been looking at poetry, paying particular attention to how poets use metaphors and similes to enhance their work. Use the Wallwisher page to post some of your own ideas based on the African photographs. http://www.wallwisher.com/wall/poetry56b
