Inspire your class to write their own Pancake Day poems with these tips and ideas
If you don’t fancy cooking in the classroom this Shrove Tuesday (16 February), then why not celebrate with some pancake-themed poetry? Here are three simple ‘recipes’ for creating effective poems that children will really enjoy writing. Whichever idea you use, I think the main thing is to try and make them fun. Concentrate on the enjoyment… and look at the form and genre later!

I shall use this with my six year olds after our annual pancake making session & pancake races! Many Thanks for such lively poetry ideas.
