Snowman Acrostic Poem & Picture

Have you had some snow and managed to build a snowman? Finally we have had enough snow to build Bob the Snowman!

You could get the children to draw a snowman and write an acrostic poem about the snowman.

An acrostic poem is when you use the initial letter from the word to start the sentences. 

Snowman Steve stands slightly sloping! 

Nose pointing towards the house. 

On the grass he stands majestically. 

With eyes searching for the warm enemy! 

Melting fast in the sun. 

Away he goes. 

Not back until it snows again. 

If you have named your snowman you could use the name of your snowman for the poem. Think about what your snowman looks like - tall, short, wide, smiling, what is your snowman wearing, how have you made the face, arms, buttons etc think about snowy words - icy, melts, white, frosty, frozen, icicles, snow crystals, snow flakes, thaws, powdery snow, wet.... 

Have fun.

Acrostic Poem About Football

An acrostic poem has the word you are writing about down the page so the letter for each sentence spells out the word. We decided to do ours about football, but you could do it about any topic your child is interested in. One day we wrote down lots of words associated with football. Second day we wrote the poem. It was a joint effort. Third day we typed up the poem. We would love to see your poems so please share any you do.

We had some bits of paint left over after we painted our wooden birdbox. We decided to make some painted paper.  Paint sheets of paper using the left over paint.  Once the painted paper is dry you can save the coloured paper and use it for other art projects and card making. We always make our own cards do we can cut out numbers, letters or objects to make personalised cards.
