On Friday instead of having a new reading book to come home, we do a poem in our Poetry book to come home instead. We read through the poem and pick out specific language features to highlight. Then we need to use our best drawing skills to draw a picture to match the poem, just like real life illustrators do!
We talk through the specific criteria our pictures need first (it needs to: be big and fill the page, match the words, and be coloured in with our BEST and focussed colouring). We love looking closely at the extra details some children add too!
Here are some photo's of us doing 'judging' which is where we lay all the poem books out and choose some children to tell us which one is their favourite picture and why.
We hope you love reading through our poems with us and talking about our illustrations!
