My Pet Poem (literacy)
The teacher says the first part of the poem and the children think first, then take turns to make up the rest. When you have a good description, you say the poem again with the children taking turns to add their contribution at the right time. When you have practised this together a few times, each child paints their imaginary pet's portrait in finger paints.
