Poetry, What I love about school

Hi teachers of the world!

I love using Roger Mcgough’s fantastic ‘What I love about school’ to motivate pupils to write poetry with patterns. I’ve used it several times, and the children often come up with brilliant poems of their own, once they have had time explore the patterns.

A shortened version of the poem, some comprehension activities and planning sheet are included. Have fun!

If you like this activity, you may like my grammar games and units of work.
