Ballad Poem

In Room 6 we have been learning about ballad poems. After our learning we had the task to create our own ballad poem with our own rhythm of rhyme my rhythm is A A B B C C. Something I enjoyed was making my ballad about Netball and running, something I did well was creating my rhythm and something I could do better next time would be to make my rhythm a bit more challenging.

Sports

I love to play sport

I play on the court.

My position is centre

And I want to be better,

the game is netball

And my name is Siobhan.

I like to be active in everything I do

and I wear my special netball shoes.

I step in the circle waiting for the whistle

drip drip drip it’s starting to drizzle.

I duck and I dive and I’m here and I’m there

being careful not to slip and put in a wheelchair.

Within seconds I had caught the ball

Tick tick tick the time goes on,

I look around and nobody’s free

He he he now there are three.

I run as fast as a panther

oh look over there it’s Samantha.

Another Sport I do is running

I love it because it’s really stunning.

I know to go at my own pace

and I try my best to win the race.

Distance is my thing

and I don’t really like to sing

Sport is really fun

Especially in the sun,

I’ve met new people

And thats so gleeful

so have a go

you never know.
