The River Poem – Valerie Bloom
Frost by Valerie Bloom for literacy
Did you like how she described these very simple things?
I’d like you to write a poem today – you can use either river or frost to focus on, or you could choose another type of weather or something from nature.
How might you describe your chosen thing and bring it to life? A great opportunity to use alliteration and personification!

Hi Evie!
The ocean is silent ,
silent like a mouse
you cant hear it
if your near your house.
the ocean is a helper ,
it helps the boats
the boats are grateful
because they can float.
Hi Sadia,
What a lovely poem – I particularly liked the part about the ocean being a helper.
Don’t forget the apostrophe in can’t.
Mrs Millard XX

The strong wind
The wind puled the tent
the man was mad
the camp was over .
The cold wind
the wind was cold
everyone was freezing
that they went home .
The calm wind
the wind was calm
everyone relaxed
that everyone enjoyed there day.

Some lovely ideas about the wind in your poem. I liked how you contrasted strength, cold and calm.
