Room 3's Amazing Orange Poetry

Room 3 planned together a poem about the colour orange.
Here are some of our poems. We used "word association", similes and metaphors to make our poems interesting.

We need to work on extending our ideas and explaining more about why something is like orange.

Please talk to you child about their poem and how they could make it better. If they add or change their poem we can re publish it onto the blogspot.

Not all of the poems were completed to a point they could be put on today.
Thanks
Mrs Hogan
