This is the Hand

Poet: Michael Rosen

Age: KS1

Lots of repetition to explore

Links to senses - could write similar poem e.g. This is the nose/eye/mouth/ear

Add own verses to the poem - What else does the hand do?

To stimulate writing ideas could do senses games - touch things inside boxes - blindfold taste testing - listen and identify sounds - blindfold smell test (these sorts of activities could help extend vocabulary).
