Yesterday Mel and I had great fun making up Firework Poems. Firstly we show the classes video clips of fireworks exploding and asked them for words that reminded them of the fireworks. We worked on the two sense namely: sound and sight! They came up with amazing ideas. We then took them into a darkened room and they were all given the opportunity to light sparklers. Oh what a treat it was to see all their faces light up with excitement! After all the excitement we then wrote poems in pairs. We were delighted with their work. Here they are!

Firework Poems

exploding popcorn sizzling like frying in your pan
crashing golden rain
 world bursting with explosives
showers of exploding glitter

(Dan, Karsten, Syan)

thunder sparkling like stars
gunshot lights exploding
flowers in the sky
shooting showers of golden rain

(Amahle, Keshme)

crackling,sparkling popping like bacon
popcorn buildings crumbling
world exploding into golden showers
bombs geeting shot by slingshots in the sky

(Roic, Ravi)

gunshot lights exploding in the sky
balloons popping like golden rain
glittering flowers fanning the air
showers of snow shooting stars

(Diya, Aphiwe)

heavy showers of colourful stars
springing up like flowers in the sky
gunshots up in the air making whistling sounds
glitter exploding like popocorn in the sky

(Brady, Andisiwe, Aruhi)

snowy shooting hail; stars
golden popcorn popping
whizzing lights
crashing noises in the sky

(Treya, Sereni)

balloon popping showers of glittering stars making colourful flowers cracking like popcorn in the air
pink and blue exploding circles

(Karuna, Shahan, Maria)

lights exploding
crackling wild popcorn
burning like bombs

(Rivan,Nickyle)
