Kids who lazily fall out of bed
Kids who eat their breakfast half asleep
Kids who do RANDOM
Kids who can’t find their books in the morning
Kids who eat their delicious lunches and talk in the
hallway
Kids who giggle in class
Kids who swing on their chairs
Kids who write in pen and end up tippexing it all out
Kids who make up crazy excuses about homework
Kids who run to the door anxious to go home
Kids who lean against the radiator and talk before
school starts
Kids who play football every day
Kids with mucky knees
Kids who support football teams
Kids who think they’re dinosaurs
Kids who want to be finished first at everything
Kids who love to draw
Kids who count the seconds until home time
Kids like me.

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
(reindeer)
had a very shiny nose (Oh really)
and if you ever saw it (saw it)
you would even say it glows. (like s
lightbulb)

All of the other reindeer (reindeer)
used to laugh and call him names
(Like Pinochio)
They never let poor Rudolph
(Rudolph)
play in any reindeer games. (Like
monopoly)

Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say: (On the
telephone)
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh
tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him
(loved him)
as they shouted out with glee
(Yipee),
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!

Dad got a tree me and my mam were

My mam said there is a reason for the
season
The children were in their beds
sleeping of their heads.
The slay on the roof went boom

I heard a big bang and sat up in
fright
I looked out the window and saw a
beaming light
Santa went up so far he could touch a

Prancer danced on the ice eating icy

I gave Santa a bucket of jelly and he

Dear Grinch,
I disagree with you
about Christmas. It is not just
about presents here is what it’s
about.…..
Yours sincerely
Mr. Harten
An entrance to a secret tunnel
A giant ball of Brie
A bankrupt balloon
Debris from an abandoned space mission
A lost planet looking for love
A magic bubble of light
A once a month show-off
A moody wanderer and
An intruder that won’t go away.
Class poem 2011
Winter’s when Pipes freeze;
Noses sneeze;
Twigs snap;
Lips chap;
Birds hide;
Feet slide;
Tears quiver;
Legs shiver;
Can’t run;
No sun – Brr-rrr!
Actual photo of a football game during the
truce of 1914
Black is the anger in an eagles eye.
A night sky howling
The fear that haunts you when you
least expect
It is jealousy streaming through
pitiful faces
A bitter east wind that chills the
bones
And an unfaithful friend.
Around the garden shed
Across the cold stream
Over the flowerbed
Under the arched trees
Between the bare branches
Through the dewed cobwebs
Below the washing line
Above the frosted grass
In front of fast cars
And away from the abandoned tree
Where they started

“Everything has a value, provided it
appears at the right place at the
right time. It’s a matter of
recognising that value, that
quality, and then to transform it
into something that can be used.
If you come across something
valuable and tuck it away
metaphorical suitcase, there’s sure
to come a moment when you can
make use of it.”
Jurgan Bey
“The creative mind plays with the objects
it loves”.
Carl Jung
All art begins with play. Children
draw and colour in pictures.
Actors pretend to be someone
else, dress up and play that part,
storytellers tell jokes, singers
sing and dancers dance wherever
they find themselves.
Question: How do we make writers
out of children?
Answer: Give them the tools and
let them play.

It is very important to read poetry as well as stories to
children. Make a collection of poetry books in your class
library and read them as often as you can.
Keep a collection of your favourite ones in a folder. These
can be based on themes like food, friendship, The Seasons,
Christmas, Halloween, Humour etc.
Encourage children to buy a poetry book. Anthologies are
best .
Keep copies of children’s work. If you repeat an exercise
you can say: Here is a poem Jessie wrote last year.
“Poetry helps students
........
because it
gives their minds an
exhilarating workout, it
inspires students to read
more, imagine more,
think more, discuss
more and write more.”

None of the ideas that you will
hear or see today are totally new.
Many of them have been pilfered,
borrowed, altered and stolen
from other writers or artists.
These are all ideas that I have
tried out. Some have worked,
some haven’t, but the doing of
them was time well spent.

Put the children in pairs. Give them
a word and its meaning on a
card. Ask them to make up two
“new” meanings to the word and
get the others to guess which
meaning is true.
Landau
(a) The cork in the centre of a golf
ball
(b)A horse drawn carriage
(c)The ring you tie boats to on a
pier.
Make a list of compound words.
Play ground / air port / jelly fish
news/paper /class room/ out side
Make up a story using these words
but joining them back to front.
Sideout the school gate I found a
papernews. The headlines told the
story of a giant fishjelly that was
found in the groundplay. I
gathered them up and brought
them to the portair where I sold
them to a manfire.
This is a great way to get children writing. Write a name or
a topic vertically down the page and begin each line with
the first letter

Nowhere is children’s lack of
vocabulary more evident than in their
choice of verbs, especially those
associated with “movement” and
“speaking”.
There are three hundred verbs to
describe movement..
Make a “word cloud” of all the
movement and speaking words.
www.wordle.com
Every child should have access to a
thesaurus as well as a dictionary.
Read a poem and ask the children to
count how many movement/speaking
words were used.
Never ever repeat a word.

This is a fun exercise but it does capture
children’s interest. The “poem” itself can be a
nonsense verse, but stress how alliteration
can be very effective if used sparingly.
Give examples in selected poems.
When reading children’s work point up the
alliteration.
Children should be encouraged to use the
dictionary .
The fact that the poems do not have to make
sense makes children more adventurous and
adds to the surreal quality of the poems.
Each line may start with a number:
One wiggly walrus won a wonderful weapon
Two thin tailors tied tomatoes to Tommy’s
teddy
Begin each line with letters in alphabetical
order.
Invent five imaginary people whose
Christian name and surname is
the same.
Ryan Ryan
Brian O Brien
Anna Mc Anna
Kelly Kelly
Write a poem which begins with the
line:
Sitting at the top of a tall tree
Watching badgers busily bustling
Watching squirrels scrambling secretly
Watching ......
The child should try to employ
alliteration but not force it. Each line
can highlight a different sound.
Sitting on a cloud
Listening to..................
Slimy sloppy slippy sticky gooey,
Sloppy slippy slimy gooey sticky,
Gooey slimy sticky sloppy slippy
Slippy sloppy sticky slimy gooey

Everything we know we perceive
through the senses. We hear, see
smell, taste and smell the world
around us.
Listen
Can you hear the infants playing?
Listen
Can you hear the children clapping?
Listen
Can you hear the telephone ringing?
Listen
Can you hear the tin-whistles
screeching?
Paint the noise of a vulture
Slide down a rainbow on a drizzly
summers evening
Hear the elderberries shy flowers
open
Understand where dreams go at
night
Listen to the joy of the oak in
spring
And keep the moons shimmering
light in a jar by my bed.

This is one of my favourite poems because it
captures the essence of poetry, looking and
listening.
Children can write a similar poem about the
sounds in school, at the beach or on the
farm.
Similar poems can be written about all the
senses.
If the class find a particular topic difficult to
write about, ask each child to write just
three or four lines. Then ask each child to
contribute just one line or their favourite line
to a class poem.
Write this on the board and each child can
copy it into their poetry copy.
A stranger called this morning
Dressed all in black and grey
Put every sound into a bag
And carried them away.
The whistling of the kettle
The turning of the lock
The purring of the kitten
The ticking of the clock
The popping of the toaster
The crunching of the flakes
When you spread the marmalade
The scraping noise it makes
The hissing of the frying-pan
The ticking of the grill
The bubbling of the bathtub
As it starts to fill
The drumming of the raindrops
On the window-pane
When you do the washing up
The gurgle of the drain
The crying of the baby
The squeaking of the chair
The swishing of the curtain
The creaking of the chair
A stranger called this morning
He didn’t leave his name
Left us only silence
Life will never be the same.
Maddening ring of
the clock that was
not turned off.
Television
mumbling in the
next room.
Wheezing cough.
Grumbling of a late
night teenager.
Flicking of the
lighter.
Unanswered
telephone
A heavy sigh
released
Pounding feet
Guilt whispering
that she blames
me.
Gulping water
Buzzing of the
lawnmower.
Humming of the air
conditioner.
Scratching paws of
my cat.
Blaring voices.
Who turned up the
television?
Thump, thump
from the heart
beat in my temple.
Hip hop from the
bathroom.
High pitched drone
seeping from the
computer.
Uncertain clang.
Rustling covers
being pulled up
over my head.
Silence.

I like the smell of a cinnamon candle

beautiful. Children enjoy the
unique and unusual mixtures
that arise. This sort of game
helps to break down inhibitions

Two poor women were picking potatoes
On a silent empty hill
Tired and thirsty.
One would dig
And the other would put them into
Her tattered old sack
The picker worked
With bony hands
And aching back
The digger
A lonely daydreamer
Stared
At the vast blue ocean

Come spring and bring love and happiness
Bring warm coats to bare trees
Bring pride to a bed of roses
Bring fragile butterflies to life
Bring chirping birds to overhead wires
Bring colours to our window
Bring cloudless night skies
Bring back waking animals
Bring hope to a land of blue and grey and
Open the world’s shy eyes.

Come spring and bring mouth watering heat
To melt away winter paleness and bring warmth and light.
Come April showers to cool the air
And soften the cold clay,
Come giant rainbows
And bring colour and personality to lonely flowers.
Come flamboyant lambs
And introduce yourself to the world.
Come excited birds
And teach me new songs to sing in the morning.
Come roses and bring love and happiness to our loved
ones ,
And come full moons
to remind us tomorrow is a new day.

Dark is the new light
In a blackout,
War is the new peace
If you’re a crazy soldier,
Old is the new new
But only on e-Bay
Wobbly is the new stable
If you’re a newborn calf
Fast is the new slow
When you’re late for work
Jazz is the new funk
If you’re a musician
Down is the new up
If you’re afraid of heights
Irish is the new English
If you want to confuse your teacher and
Heels are the new flat
Especially if you’re short

Forget it
You must be joking
I’m a mythical creature, I don’t understand English
I’m made out of lego
I ate a poisoned sausage
An bhfuil céad agam dul …..
I bent down broke my back and got stuck to blue tac
I’m paper blind
An feidir liom deoch a fhail
All my books rode off on a unicorn
I hate my hand
A wasp stung me…ah..
I hit my finger with a mallet
I was stuck in the bathroom
My pencil turns to dinner when it touches paper
If I touch my pencil I will die
I got expelled
Sorry can’t hear you
I was too busy daydreaming of me running into the goal
post and everyone laughing
What’s a poem?
I have brain damage
I’m tired……. Zzzzzzz
Lava touched my hands
I have frost bite
My cat jumped out of my bag and bit my finger off!
An anvil fell on my hand
In these shoes!
PJ got sick on my books
Ok the last one was a lie
