Christmas is a great time to encourage creativity and imagination in your pupils. This presentation accompanies a lesson plan. It is an hour poetry lesson. This presentation teaches what a kennings poem is, the structure of the poem and uses a kennings poem as an example. The children are guided in writing a class kenning poem together, and then write their own poem about a robin or reindeer in pairs or individually. They then write their poem out neatly, and take turns reading their poems aloud to the class. This is a fun Christmas literacy activity. I hope you enjoy this resource!
