Weather Balloon Wonder!

We were approached by Salway Ash CE Primary School for a special poetry project this summer term, focusing around their whole-school topic of Meteorology. We started things off with Robins Class, in which pupils did a fantastic session of collaborative List poetry, and individual ‘If I were...’ poems.

Pupils filled the classroom with weather words and sent them up into the sky (ceiling) on balloons, before we randomly selected those words and arranged them to make highly effective - and noisy - List Poems.

The Robins then took inspiration from those words to imagine they were the weather, to create ‘If I were… I would …’ poems; plenty of fierce thunder and lightning in this class, ready to scare all comers!

The remaining sessions with other classes will all focus on different forms of poetry to further prove what we at TBODAN already know: that children are incredible poets.
