Year 4 8.11.24

Year 4 have been learning to use onomatopoeias in English and have used this week’s fireworks to inspire their poems:

 

As I zoom through the air

With a sparkle and a crunch

As you hear a boom and a bang

And the crowd all cheer.

I am green and blue

Like a pompom in the sky.

By Bonnie 4H

 

As I soar through the sky I am sure to light the night

I bang and I sizzle and whistle like a witches potion.

I howl in the November sky on Guy Fawkes night

As shrieking and cheering fill the night sky.

By Anni 4H

 

With a whizz and a boom

Up go sparks in the midnight sky.

I am a bonfire crackling at night

With warm delight.

Sparkle go the sparklers being waved around,

The yummy sasages in my belly,

A pshhhh as the final firework goes off.

By Willam 4K

 

Shoot, bang, sizzle in the night sky

Oh my gosh, watch it fly.

Boom crackle snap goes the bonfire

Look at the fireworks go higher and higher.

I have a huge big big light

I can’t wait to use it at bonfire night.

Maddie 4K

 

Whistle, crack, pop as the fireworks went up in the dark lifeless night.

Zoom, bang, boom as multicoloured shapes illuminated the night sky.

Sizzle, crackle goes the rocket like firework.

Winter 4G

 

Whoosh, sizzle, bang!

The fireworks go ablaze.

Whistle, whistle, bang as a Catherine Wheel explodes in the pitch, black sky.

Whizz, whizz, bang a rocket punctures the sky with light.
