Before the holidays Primary Five went to the Scottish Poetry Library to find out more about different poems and meet real life poets!

After this in class we started looking at poems by Grace Nichols, learning about different structures of poems, metaphors and similes.

We looked at the poem Morning then created our own about bedtime.
