Learning about poets and their styles

Fourth class are learning about different poets and their styles. For the last week we have been listening to poems by Jack Prelutsky from his book The New Kid on the Block.

The pupils decided to write their own version of Jack Prelutsky's poem; Louder Than a Clap of Thunder.

Louder

Louder than my parrot talking

Louder than my class screaming

Louder than Dean

Louder than Mr. Candon roars

Louder than my six cousins

Louder than Dylan's guitar

Louder than a lions roar

Louder than elephants

or stampeding rhinos

Louder than a marching band

Louder than an erupting volcano

THAT'S HOW LOUD MY GRAND DA ROARS

By Killian

Louder Than

Louder than thunder and lightening

Louder than an earthquake rumbling

Louder than my sister falling

Louder than the world shaking

Louder than a lion roaring

Louder than a house on fire

Louder than a window smashing

Louder than a teacher roaring

Louder than a wall falling

Louder than a man screaming

THAT'S HOW LOUD MY MA SCREAMS

by Leroy

Louder Than

Louder than a crocodile eating

Louder than a man screaming

Louder than a dinosaur roaring

Louder than a lion moaning

Louder than a crocodile eating

Louder than a baby crying

Louder than Dylan and Jake moaning

THAT'S HOW LOUD MR. CANDON ROARS

by Dylan G.
