Year 5 - Literacy: Artwork Inspired by Poetry

In today's literacy lesson, we drew some art inspired by the imagery created by the poem "Mrs McPhee" in the book "The Puffin Book of Utterly Brilliant Poetry"

Here is the poem:

Mrs McPhee
Who lived in South Zeal
Roasted a duckling
For every meal.

'Duckling for breakfast
And dinner and tea
And duckling for supper,'
Said Mrs McPhee

'It's sweeter than sugar,
It's clean as a nut,
I'm sure and I'm certain
It's good for me - BUT

'I don't like these feathers
That grow on my back,
And my silly webbed feet
And my voice that goes quack.'

As easy and soft
As a ship to the sea,
As a duck to the water
Went Mrs McPhee.

'I think I'll go swim
In the river,' said she;
Said Mrs Mac, Mrs Quack,
Mrs McPhee.
