In year 3 we have been writing poems about Egypt. Our success criteria focussed on using figurative language and organising our work into verses. We would love to know what you thought!

The Door

Go and open the door,

Maybe there’s a sphinx staring, guarding golden treasure.

Go and open the door,

Maybe there’s a pyramid as tall as a block of flats and as sandy as a beach.

Go and open the door,

Maybe there’s a desert which is as hot as the yellow dazzling sun.

Go and open the door,

Maybe there’s a group of Egyptians that are as noisy as a busy city.

The Door

 

Go and open the door.

Maybe outside a big sphinx is girding the door and staring at you.

 

Go and open the door.

Maybe inside there’s a pyramided as tall as a green shaded tree .

 

Go and open the door.

Maybe the four sons will be there to greet you.

 

Go and open the door.

Inside a mummy will scare you out.

 

 

Go and open the door.

Maybe you will find a desert all alone

The Door

Go and open the door.

Maybe there are pyramids shaped like an ice cream cone.

When you go in you might see a forgetful mummy trying to make friends.

 

Go in the door and see.

The four sons bowing to your commands.

They bow like bending trees.

 

Go and open the door.

There is a terrible storm that won’t clear for a day.

The Door

Go and open the door,

There might be a dozy, creepy mummy meandering and a Sphinx guarding lots of sparkling gold.

 

Go and open the door,

There might be a magic city and a giant, sandy pyramid with a Cleopatra greeting people when they go and pray.

 

Go and open the door,

There might be a lovely, bright palace with a Pharaoh helping lots of people.

 

Go and open the door,

There might be a sandstorm but it will clear.
