The children in Ms Chapman’s ‘Read Write Inc’ group (Year 1 and 2)
have been learning about, and writing kennings. Kennings are two
words that give the reader the image of something without saying
its name, e.g. a tap could be a water-giver. In Old English, kennings
were used to describe things.
We hope you enjoy reading them 
