Food Glorious Food

Years 3-4

Three-week Program

Stirring a base of inspiration with a cup of opinions and a pinch of giggles, students explore poems that are both hilarious and informative in this program based on food, glorious food. During these workshops students will practice playful activities using alliteration, similes, rhyming and verb choices as they add their own flavour and spices to food-themed poetry. Students will plan, create and share three poems celebrating their fantastic imaginative food orders.

• Sample Student Writing

  Shed a tear for Apple Pie,

  Who ate uncommon meals.

  Who often sliced watermelon 

  But munched on the seeds and skin, 

  The flesh goes in the bin.

  And scrambled sausage skins,

  but drizzled them with creek water sauce.

  And slurped down a chocolate sundae

  but drowned it in a bubble mix and bath water. 

  Then suddenly Apple Pie ran out of food

  And it put them in a real foul mood.

  So they seasoned a television with some pepper

  And it made swallowing ten times better!
