Now that we are in the mood for memory poems I have thought of a mini challenge for you all!
Some of you are busy talking to older people so you can find a memory for a poem.
But what about you? Sometimes when I have visited schools I have asked students to think back to early memories. Think back to before you started school. What can you remember?
What is your earliest memory? You could do this if you are in Year 2 or Year 8 and anywhere in between!
Find one of your earliest memories.
Make a list of words about it. See how many words you can find.
Where?
Who?
What?
Sounds? Weather? Things? Details?
You don’t have to write it all.
Play with the words on the line.
Listen to how each word and each line sounds.
Give your poem a title.
Send to paulajoygreen@gmail.com. Include your name, age year and name of school. You can include the name of your teacher and email address if you like.
