Palindromes

Mrs Seath spotted a beautiful sunrise last week. It reminded her of a poem about mornings.

'Mornings' is a palindrome poem. It has a pattern of words that is reflected in the second half of the poem.

George and Jennah were inspired to write their own palindromes about the rain. It was tricky to find two-word phrases that would make sense when they were reflected.

Tariq's boat narrative

Tariq has written a really cool story about an adventure at the beach. We think it's interesting the way that Tariq has chosen to write his story in the first person (using 'I', instead of 'he'). It can help the reader to imagine what it was like for the main character.
