My students and I (Ms. A. A. Buhagiar) are working on an eTwinning project entitled 'Let's have fun with poems' with the following schools:

COLOUR POEMS

I asked the Form 3 students to write a COLOUR POEM. A COLOUR POEM is a poem about a specific colour.

The students chose a colour they wanted to write a poem about and reflected about it. They described

what smells, sounds and objects remind them of that colour. They also described how that colour feels to the touch

and what emotions that colour evokes in them.

ACROSTIC POEMS

I asked the Form 2 students to write an ACROSTIC POEM. To write an ACROSTIC POEM, the poet uses the

letters in the topic word to begin each line. The students wrote the poem using their name as a topic word. They

used each letter of their name to write their poem in which they described themselves.
