In our English lessons, we have been reading the poem ‘The Tyger’ by William Blake.
We discussed the figurative language used by the poet and identified features such as rhyming structure and the use of questions in the poem. We also looked for clues that tell us how the poet feels about tigers.
Then we planned and wrote our own poems about animals, inspired by William Blake’s poem.
Can you work out how each poet feels about their chosen animal?
This was so much fun because we got to write a poem about an animal we love (I did a horse)in the the style of a famous poet called William Blake. Not only we got to express our selves through writing we also learnt how poetry doesn’t have to rhyme . Now year 6 are officially poets!yay.
I really loved writing a poem about an axolotl as they’re not well known and they are really mysterious creatures. It was such a fun experience so I hope we get to do something like this this again!
