Limericks

This week Oliver, Kaci and Joel having been learning about limericks.

They have been learning that limericks usually:
1.  Start with 'There once was...".
2.  Have 5 lines.
3.  have a rhyming pattern of AABBA.  This means that lines 1, 2 and 5 rhyme, and lines 3 and 4 rhyme.

We have been using some rhyming books to help us find words to use in our limericks.

Here are their very first limericks.  What do you think?

Today all of Room 12 have taken home 2 notices.  One of them is an order form to purchase calendars, diaries, cards and notepads.  These are perfect for gifts.  Your child has created their own artwork to be published on each item.  The other notice is asking you to fill out as much information regarding your child's ability in the water.  We use this as a rough guideline to create swimming groups for our first lesson.  After this initial lesson the swimming tutors may move children into more appropriate ability groups.
