Teaching resources › Poet/Makar/Bard › Rhymetastic! Matthew Fitt led a series of workshops with P5 pupils at Preston Street Primary, during which they had a wonderful time exploring lots of different ways into writing poetry. They experimented with describing some pretty cool colours, they imagined what it would be like to be a tree, they wrote couplets and quatrains (two-line and four-line rhyming poems), thought about a special moment in time and more. As one pupil put it, "It was brilliant! You use your imagination and it was really fun. We could make them as funny or as daft as we wanted to. It was all Rhymetastic!" This is only a tiny selection of their poems. Cool colours by Preston Street Primary P5 pupils Yellow yellow as a laser-beam Black black as a bottomless pit Red red as bubbling lava Grey grey as a raincloud If trees and plants had five senses… If trees and plants had five senses like humans (and maybe they have…?) what would they be able to see, hear, smell, taste and touch? I see the clouds and skies above me Sidra Ali I hear the busy bees buzzing about me I smell the cars' gas on the road I taste the mud beneath my roots I feel scratches when children climb on me Samil Aydin I taste the soft clouds ready to burst with snow I feel the mountain marmots scurrying around my roots Rachel Flynn I hear the wind swirling softly through my leaves I feel the children swinging on my low branches Flora Stobart I taste the wind blowing slowly Jin-Mo I see the cars parked below me Beth Carson I see the fluffy clouds and the clear sky Abdul Ahad |
