Writing
Today I would like you to write a poem with a repeating pattern
For this poem, you will need a repeating phrase chosen from one of the ideas in our previous activities. Here are some examples so you get the idea:
I Got Lost
I got lost in the castle of curses and never came out,
I got lost in the maze of confusion as….
I got lost in the land of dreams where….
I got lost in the field of fear because….
To extend this poem each verse could be four lines involving a different action. E.g I got lost followed by I discovered, I felt.
In the Castle of Dreams
In the castle of dreams there are….
In the castle of dreams you will….
In the castle of dreams no-one….
In the castle of dreams I…..
To extend this poem each verse could be four lines describing what you will encounter and what emotions you will experience.
The Dungeon of Doom
The dungeon of doom is home to….
The dungeon of doom wants you to……
The dungeon of doom is a place where…..
The dungeon of doom can……
To extend this poem, each verse could be four lines on a different threatening setting. E.g. Dungeon of doom followed by Cave of Death, Forest of Dread and Cavern of Fear.
★ Now have a go at a repetitive poem of your own – use the ideas above or ideas of your own from previous activities but above all use your imagination and enjoy yourself. Aim for at least six verses. Read your poem through carefully when you’ve finished, then edit and improve it. Finally, illustrate it.

Make up some data of your own about something you are really interested in e.g. types of cars, favourite football teams, favourite pets and create a pie chart to represent the data.
