Oak Class Learning Conversation: (6) Kennings

28 June 2019 (by Patricia Page (admin))

Oak Class Learning Conversation – 28.06.19

In class this week, we have had the opportunity to create Kennings, a poetry form that was created by the Vikings. Can your child tell you about the Kennings they created? How did they describe themselves?

Extension – Can you and your child create a Kennings for an object, person or thing and bring it in to share? Here is an example below for a cat.

Dog scratcher

Tree climber

Bird chaser

Rat catcher

Milk drinker

Ear twitcher
