Online Shape Poems

This is a fantastic site from the Woodland Trust (an organisation which helps to look after forests) where you can draw and write your own shape poems online. The site has some ideas to inspire you to start or you can draw your own shape. What's even better is that the site includes LOADS of vocabulary to use in your poems. Please give it a go.

The Woodland Trust has more spring time activities here. They need to be downloaded so please ASK MUM OR DAD FIRST!

Good Morning Mr Cutler

This is Mr. Tumnus' entry song. I know the chorus is funny but so is the rest of the song. Here are the lyrics:

Good morning. How are you? Shut up!
Don’t give me the small talk, give me the big talk.
A million, million and six, oh I love that big talk!
Give me some more!
Elephants, elephants, oh I love that big talk, give me some more.
No? I hate to talk the big talk, I love to talk the small talk, alright, go ahead.
Flies, mice and spiders,
Mice, flyders and spice,
Spice, mice and flyders,
Mice, spiders and flies.
Are you finished with your small talk? Yes. Goodbye.
Good morning. How are you? Shut up!

THIS IS WHERE WE WILL FINISH

Don’t give me the big talk, give me the small talk.
A million, millionth of six, oh I love that small talk!
Give me some more!
Microscopes, microscopes, oh I love that small talk, give me some more.
No? I hate to talk the small talk, I love to talk the big talk, alright, go ahead.
Cows, yaks and mammals,
Maks, yammals and cows,
Yaks, yows and cammals,
Cacks, mammals and cows.
Are you finished with your big talk? Yes. Hello!

Did somebody mention POETRY???

The tremendous Michael Rosen performs another poem. What do you think of it?
