Poems about spaghetti!

We have written some poems about spaghetti in reading and writing time...

Super Spaghetti

Spaghetti is loopy

Spaghetti is droopy

It's floppy and ploppy

and gloppy and sloppy

It's hot in the pot

and it's a lot like slop,

but I like it a lot.

By Evie

Spaghetti

Spaghetti is gloopy

Spaghetti is sloppy

It slips and slides and gets into a mess!

It's warm in the pot

It's cold when it is on my plate

Then it explodes in my face.

By Kate

Swirly twirly spaghetti

Spaghetti is swirly and is really twirly

It goes round and round and round

It's yummy to eat and really long to eat

So that's why you should always eat spaghetti with a fork!

By Oscar

We also invented new machines which help us to eat spaghetti.

Developing Vocabulary

We have been busy in Room 20.

Some new words for the word wall are; notorious, vague, mime and unicycle.

Thomas said his sister is notorious for blaming him for things he didn't do.

Rayan said he has a vague idea of how to play netball.

We have been miming actions and expressions for our creativity topic.

We have discovered that uni means one, bi means two, and tri means three. We used this knowledge to help us with our maths problem solving this week.

We look forward to sharing more new words with you as we learn them...
