KS2 writing worksheet that introduces Year 3 and Year 4 children to shape poems through the theme of minibeasts.

The page begins with two short examples, one about rain that splishes and splashes and one about love, set out so children see how the words can form the shape of the subject or sit inside a drawing of it. A planning section then asks children to list the minibeasts they know, choose one and jot down words and phrases about what it eats, how it moves, where it lives and what it looks like. The final page provides space and outline templates for children to write their own shape poem about their chosen minibeast.

Useful for poetry units, creative writing homework or classroom intervention on descriptive vocabulary. More writing tasks sit in the writing worksheets for KS2 ages 7 to 9. Printable PDF, A4, downloads instantly after purchase.
