The Quangle Wangles's Hat by Edward Lear
What is a poem?
Poems are pieces of writing that have been chosen for their sound. Some poems are serious, and some are fun; some tell a story and others are just nonsense (full of unreal things or just silly).
This week we are going to be learning about the poem “The Quangle Wangle’s Hat” by Edward Lear.
Today we are going to learn the first verse of the poem.
Underline the words that describe the hat.
What had it got on it? How big was it?
The Quangle Wangle’s Hat
On the top of the CrumpettyTree
The Quangle Wangle sat,
But his face you could not see,
On account of his Beaver Hat.
For his Hat was a hundred and two feet wide,
With ribbons and bibbons on every side
And bells, and buttons, and loops, and lace,
So that nobody ever could see the face
Of the Quangle Wangle Quee.
The poem tells us about the Quangle Wangle sits on top of the Crumpetty Tree. Nobody knows what a Crumpetty Tree looks like, can you imagine what it could look like and draw it in the box?
