We have been looking at poetry by Allan Ahlberg this week. He is a poet and author who used to be a primary school teacher. His poems are all about children and things that happen at school and they really make us chuckle.
We have been reading his poems and discussing what we like about them. One of our favourites is 'Please Mrs Butler'. It begins like this:
'Please Mrs Butler
This boy Derek Drew
Keeps copying my work, Miss
What shall I do?'
Next week we will be writing our own versions of this poem, beginning, 'Please Mrs Whalley!'
Watch this space for some funny Year 5 poetry coming soon...
