Year 4 Poetry

In Year 4 we have been looking at a poem called 'The Day's Eye' by Pie Corbett. It is about the sun and how it changes throughout the day.

In Literacy we created pictures of each verse to show how the sun changes.

The sun rises,
Surprises the weary night.
like a sudden joke,
Daylight .

The sun gleams,
Beams kindly heat
like an oven’s plate,
Streets sweat.

The sun sneaks,
Peeks through musty cloud,
like a sly thief,
alone in a crowd.

The sun sleeps,
Creeps into cool shade,
like a honey cat.
Shadows fade.

The sun slips,
Dips into the night,
like a closing mouth,
Swallowing light.
Pie Corbett

Year 4 then performed the poem.

Can you work out which verse these pairs are performing?
