English Spike Milligan was a very famous poet. Today we are going to look at one of his famous nonsense poems.

You are going to write another poem about a noisy, fantasy land over today and tomorrow’s lessons. Think about why does ’On the Ning Nang Nong’ seem silly? What has been used to make the poem exciting? There are lots of rhyming words and use of alliteration in the poem. (Remember, alliteration is when words that start with the same sound-not just the same letter and are used repeatedly in a phrase or sentence. )

Your first job is to think of an alliterative place name for your poem Here are my ideas: On the Tring, Trang, Trong On the Ping Pang Pong On the Ring Rang Wrong Now decide on who/what lives in your land. Choose some animals/items Here are my ideas: Hamsters Eggcups Goldfish Squirrels
