Poetry Challenge Completed!

Well done to all those that completed today’s poetry challenge. You have created some excellent Kennings based on the squirrel video you were asked to watch. They were really well written and I could see how closely you had watched the video.I particularly the use of alliteration.

Click on the link below to view the poems:

Squirrel Kennings

Today’s Poetry Challenge

Morning Rhino Class,

Fancy a challenge?

Today I would like you to have a go at writing a special type of poem called a Kenning.

Kennings were first used in Anglo Saxon times. The famous Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf uses many kenning phrases, for example:

  • Body = bone-house
  • Ship  = wave-floater

Today, we can use Kennings to describe everyday people, animals and objects, for example a kenning about a dog could be:

face-licker
ball-chaser
stick-carrier
water-drinker
tail-wagger
floor-sniffer

and so on……

Can you write a Kenning poem about the squirrel in the video below? Remember each line of the poem needs to contain only two words (noun – er verb) e.g risk-taker. Remember to send your poems via Class Dojo and I can post them on the website to share. Have fun!

Vocabulary Challenge

Can you think of 10 words to describe this picture?

Send me your 10 words  via Class Dojo and I will compile a list later in the day. Good luck!

Mr Glover

A great list so far….Can we add more?

Now we have this list…

Version 3… The bigger the word appears, the more times it has been used. Well done to those who have thought of synonyms and more abstract words.

Final version. Well done and thank you to all that contributed to today’s challenge. You have done a great job exploring vocabulary.
