Topcliffe Primary School

An acrostic poem is where the initial letters of the lines spell a word (or words), for example the name of an animal.

The group helped Mrs Morgan to compose a poem about Oscar the parrot.

The children then looked at the animals in the classroom and created their own acrostic poems.

Oscar

Proud and Peckish
African and annoying
Rude and rough
Roaring and rainbow-coloured
Outrageous and odd
Tropical and tough
