What is a sense poem? A sense poem is a form of poetry that uses our 5 senses to describe something. It could be how your senses are affected by going on a trip, being in school, playing a game, or in this case, a season. We are thinking how spring affects our 5 senses Sight – What does Spring look like? Hearing – What does Spring sound like? Touch – What does Spring feel like? Smell – What does Spring smell like? Taste – What does Spring taste like?

Plan your poem An excellent way to plan your Spring Sense poem is by using a mind map. You might want to go outside into a garden or balcony if you can, to think about Spring looks like…. Spring sounds like…. Spring smells like…. Spring tastes like…. Spring Feels like….

Try to get creative Here are some examples you could use in your poem. I can see leaves slowly waking up from their wintery hibernation I can smell freshly cut grass, blowing in the cool breeze I can feel the warmth of the sun giving me a huge hug I can hear the buzzing of the bees, hard at work I can taste the first ice cream of the season (taste is usually the most difficult)

Today’s task Using your plan, write a 5 sense poem about Spring. There is a frame you can use, or you can make your own and draw creative spring pictures.
