ALLITERATION - WE KNOW ABOUT THAT!

Last Tuesday, after being AMAZED by our poems, Elizabeth from INKLESS TALES, introduced us to 'alliteration' - using the same 'consonant' sound over and over.

She had seen some of our 'title' ideas for Bryce's poem, like 'Five Firemen Friends Fighting Fires in Five Seconds Flat' and challenged us to have a go at writing poems using 'alliteration'.
So on Friday, when we went to the library, and Mrs O shared Kim Toft's book 'A Sea of Words'
with us, we knew why this book was different - and it wasn't just because it was signed by the author and it had colourful pictures!













It was because Kim Toft had used
'alliteration'!

We've decided that if Kim Toft can and Elizabeth and Mrs M say we can, then we CAN give 'alliteration' a go.

WATCH OUT FOR OUR ATTEMPTS WITH 'R' WORDS!

IF YOU GIVE 'ALLITERATION' A GO, WE'D LOVE TO SEE IT. SHARE YOUR CLEVER WORK WITH US IN A COMMENT :>)
