As part of their poetry topic in the Summer Term, Year 4 enjoyed writing a range of their own poems in English lessons, including these based around adverbs. Using an adverb of their choice, the boys followed a given structure to paint a picture in the reader’s mind.<\/p>\n
We hope you enjoy these three:<\/p>\n
Luminously, in the evening light, fragile fireflies flitter,
\nLuminously, in a child\u2019s window, hazy lamps gleam.
\nLuminously, on the mantelpiece, resplendent candles shimmer,
\nLuminously, in the sunset, powerful fires beam.<\/p>\n
Luminously, in the deep sea, watery jellyfish gleam.
\nLuminously, in pitch black space, ethereal stars flicker.
\nLuminously, the lustrous moon lights up the night sky,
\nLuminously, our radiant sun shines.<\/p>\n

\nNoisily, the old smoky tractor hums across the field,
\nNoisily, the birds squawk in the rustling tree,
\nNoisily, an aeroplane roars in the sky,
\nNoisily, the dog barks in the local farm
\nUntil the farmer\u2019s daughter strokes him
\nAnd it works like a charm.<\/p>\n
\nSilently, the ghostly figure of an owl soared noiselessly across the open grassland,
\nSilently, the cat descended precariously down a steep tree,
\nSilently the young girl wept, longing for her lost parents.<\/p>\n
\nSilently, the snow fell covering the earth in a white blanket,
\nSilently, the panther slunk through the overgrown plain, slowly advancing on unknowing prey,
\nSilently, the skeleton stood waiting, waiting for sunrise\u2026<\/p>\n
