Writing - Season Poetry - Winter Festivities Poem - Lesson 6 - KS1/KS2

Many detailed pictures are attached of snow, snowball, snowman, snow angel, snow fights, snow covered park/mountains, fireplace, hot drinks (hot chocolate), snow in the city and snow in London. Also discussed in detail are the non-religious winter holidays and religious holidays that often occur in the winter months (Hanukkah, Christmas, and Diwali). Children will learn about these religious holidays and a special item often associated with each holiday (Christmas tree, Mince pies, Menorah, Latkes, Sufganiyot, Diya/Diva lamps and the many different foods eaten on Diwali). There 3 poems each associated with a particular religious festival. Also included in this powerpoint is a non-religious poem about the winter holidays. These slides can be edited to include or exclude certain elements to suit different classes. This lesson can be a stand alone lesson however I would recommend teaching the previous lessons (in my shop) to help children understand how to write a poem as the quality of their poetry will depend on the children’s ability.
