Number 29 Dreams by Jack L Year 5 to be performed at The Storyhouse, Chester for The Literacy Company’s Poetry Event

The lounge dreads Christmas Morning when the presents have been opened and the wrapping is everywhere.

The toilet hates my dad.

The living room dislikes New Year’s Eve.

The walls can’t bear the grease.

The bannister dreads my kittens.

The fence fights with my football.

And number 34 dreams of silence.

And number 34 dreams of Spain.

The spare bedroom has arachnophobia.

The TV cries from the punches from me raging at Fortnite.

My bedroom dreads the smell of cologne.

My dad’s bedroom hates the smell of laundry.

My mum’s bedroom dreads the smell of perfume.

And number 29 dreams of a new carpet.

And number 29 dreams of a new gutter.

And the gutter dreams of good weather.

In English, we have been learning about using metaphors for example in a poem we made the fire sound angry and made it sound like it was going from birth to death. For some of our English, we have been using The Explorer to write about how the characters felt and will be writing the next chapter.
Are you enjoying it?
Yes because the characters are all different and have their own personalities. Where the story is set is in a rainforest and I like the feeling of them being there with no one telling them what to do, and the feeling of being there and just having to survive is exciting. I like Con’s attitude because actually she does have good ideas and I think she is smart and should be listened to even more, but she just doesn’t want to make friends so she doesn’t show it. I think they will be friends eventually because working together does make friendship.

We have been learning about our book and the rainforest. We have been thinking about how the characters have been acting. Last lesson, we had to think about whether the fire was angry or not using personification. We had to think about how personification action affected the reader and made us feel.
