Mr Snowman by Alycia Blount

Hello Mr Snowman, its nice to see you, Standing like a statue, not even saying boo.

With your big round belly, like a globe made of

snow, A carrot for your nose and a bright red bow.

Huge black eyes, as black as coal,

A scarf around your neck and a hat made from a bowl.

Arms made from twigs and some big brown sticks, Your big belly decorated, with buttons made from

bricks.

You sit there watching the world pass you by, The children playing, as the snow falls from the

sky.

The sun starts to shine and the snow melts away, Bye bye Mr Snowman, I’ll see you again someday.

Alycia has been working really hard this week. She’s also been reading a new David Walliams book and writing a book review each week. She has started some research about Ancient Egypt on a PowerPoint and will continue with this next week. A beautiful poem Alycia, very well written and keep up the brilliant attitude to your learning.

What a lovely, thoughtful thing to do you two-well done, they look delicious!
