Poetry Workshop

At the beginning of this year, fifth graders got involved in the adventure of knowing more about poetry. Starting in March and finishing in September, this workshop included many different activities: we read English poets for kids, we analysed rhymes, we learnt about limericks, we used all our senses to perceive, imagine and write, we got inspired by photos, and we could freely express with the most important purpose in poetry: to convey our ideas and emotions creatively. The following poems are the result of a great job done by our little poets… we hope you enjoy it!

When I see me

by: Margarita Campos

When I see me I get silly, in all my head I feel like a hen.

My body is great in all cases, but when I'm at a party I don't feel pretty.

My eyes are like a bike, my ears are like I'm near, and when I see me I get silly.

My winter holidays

by: Margarita Berducq

My winter holidays were fun

I cooked ,I run,

I played with toys,I read,

I color some drawings with red,

and I played in the sun

The virtual barber shop

by: Santino Brandi

There are people around me

no, there isn't, there is only a virtual barber shop

but is only with headphones on

you can leave or stop at the door

The sense of hearing and the rain that inspires me.

by: Amparo Alurralde

One afternoon it started to rain, and I didn´t know what to do.

Then I started to think, and I had an idea!

The idea was to start playing a game called sounds and senses. And had to choose a sense and a sound .

When I started the game I connected with the sense of hearing and the sound of the rain.

In one moment, I got very connected with the gentle sound of crystal drops that were knocking on my roof.

And I started to feel so relaxed, calm and sleepy that I fell asleep.

Suddenly, I transported myself to a wonderful place with hundreds of butterflies, it felt very calm.

There were white flowers that smelled like caramel,and I started to hear birds singing.

But immediately I woke up and….

Animals

by: Felicitas Mugnos

There are animals of different types,

big or small,tall or short,

but they always are doing sports.

They have differents colours,

but always with glamour,

like one elephant orange

or an orangutan pink.

But always you have to know,

that animals are more that

one pet.

The Trees

by: Gonzalo Molinuevo

I don’t know how the trees grow

but I know that I like,

when autumn begins, the leaves fall from them

with the colors orange,yellow and red.

In the winter when the trees don’t have leaves

I feel sad because I think that the trees are cold,

miss their leaves

and the birds cannot perch on the branches.

In the spring when they start to sprout the leaves

I feel happy and calm because I start to see the green leaves again,

the joy of seeing the plants and trees

and listening to the birds singing all around the nature

fills me with energy.

My new hairstyle

by: Catalina Mattio

When I put my headphones on my imagination flowed,

when I listen to the scissors I felt like a scissor cut my hair,

When I listen to the hair cutting machine I imagine that my hair has disappeared,

and I love my new hairstyle.

The sea

by: Faustino Calleri

I see the sea,

with a seal,

traveling by boat,

with an incredible goat,

and I hunted an eel.

My Town

by: Sara Deym

There once was a town called Rainbow

Where people always say hello

It was big and green

But when we call the Queen

The whole town feel down

Horses

by: Lola Verdaguer

Horses

In my farm i have horses

they smell like roses

some are fast

and others stay in the past

but they all have big noses

The Mountains

by: Delfino Doffo Cardinalli

The mountains are beautiful and adventure

they are big and of many colors

brown, grey and white

covered with soft snow.

I LOVE THE MOUNTAINS

My school friends

by: Benicio Pautasso

I have a friend that like horse and is intelligent,

Another friend likes rugby and is funny.

I love all my friends because are my friends since I’m 3 years old,

and also all my friends are very crazy and funny.

The rainbow

by: Ignacio Rossi Jaume

I have many colors

and they tell me that I

am beautiful and I tolerate that

but the bad thing is that I'm leaving

with just one star

and not so visible but I like it

wait, bye bye.

My school

by: Pilar Astrada

My school is cool,

Doesn't have pool

But same

Have games,

It's beautiful.

My dog

by: Justo Cagnolatti Mántaras

When I touch my dog

I feel it is soft

then I touch a frog

and it was rough.

Spring is here

by: Ernestina Decouvette

spring is here

goodbye snow

flowers grow up.

Birds and bees

leaves on trees

hello spring

And as the workshop came up to an end, we created and wrote some lines that every poem inspired us. And this is the result: Another poem!!

My school Assignment

When I see me

The mountain

Horses and roses

Leaves on trees

Gentle sound of crystal drops

the trees are cold

My winter holidays

I draw and paint a bunny

so animals are more than small pets

I love storms

and my new hairstyle

please (listen to the music of the poem)

Up and down through the alleys.

A town called Rainbow

Is very crazy and fun

Sleep and go to work

I see the sea

I feel is soft

I played in the sun

I can see the beauty of the world

Turn off your computers

and hit the break.
