Year Four have been learning about how mountains are formed by tectonic plates moving beneath the Earth's surface.
We used our imagination to write some poems about mountains. We hope you like them as much as we enjoyed writing them. Mr. Nay
Tectonic plates pushing and shifting
Then the mountain rumbles,
Tumbles and starts lifting
Smash and bash
Going up into the sky
Up so high
Habiba
When tectonic plates push upwards it rumbles
But when they’re together they crumble
When they’re high, they’re still on the floor
While they’re sitting up in the clouds
What stops the mountain shouting its roar?
Does it hurt its mouth, so sore?

Too Steep
Tectonic plates as wrestler stars.
Scattering violently as big as Mars.
Forcing up and down
Being pushed up like a noisy lift.
Shoving high with a gigantic shift.
Then it forms
The birth of a mountain. It’s too steep
It’s too big to leap
Emily
Tectonic plates screeching
Friction activating and stuttering
Land appearances rising
Mysterious landmarks
Over the years
Many remarks

Tectonic plates rumbling
And tumbling Pressure echoing
Forming a mountain
Crumbling down
Birds stuttering
Because is no air What stops mountains creaking
And echoing around? Now it is up into the clouds Over the years it grows into the clouds
The birds’ tweeting stops The mountain has stopped growing
The roaring has finished
and snoring began.
The mountain is dozing
It’s tired of growing.
Yasmine
The Birth of a Mountain
Tectonic plates fidgeting around,
No one can stop them or see them above ground,
Until crashing and banging ,
Here comes a Mountain,
Reaching up to the sky,
Until the growing mountain
Finally stops and settles down.

Tectonic Plates
Tectonic plates push and shove
Erupting volcanoes are flooding
Crumbling rocks are smashing
Tumbling tombs are destroyed
One climbing one falling
Nothing’s the same
Icy snow on the summit
Creaking and crashing as the plates crunch
Pointing peaks reaching up for the stars
Loud grunting and grinding
As they form a mountain
Terrific views when you ascend the steep base
Elevated, on top of the world
Success for mountaineers.

The creation of mountains and what comes next. Tectonic plates fighting underground, Even though you can't hear the screeching sound.
Crashing and bashing they shove together, Then the bumpy boulders withstand the weather.
On the mount they crash and bash, Now you can hear the shark-sounding smash.
In the chaotic collision, the mountains form
Coming to climb the boltic snowstorm. Puzzling pieces of tectonic plates
Lots of danger on the mount awaits.
And the smell of refreshing dew,
Towers across the mountain crew.
Evening comes the clouds are grey
Storms form, ready for their next prey.
Taylor Jones
The birth of a mountain
Deep underground
Something is happening
Tectonic plates are
Shifting and pressing
Like titanic wrestlers
Roaring and grunting
Rocks and boulders
Are tearing and creaking.
Something strange and
Mysterious is happening
With all that terrible
Tumbling and rumbling
Deep underground
Something is happening
The birth of a mountain
Is definitely starting.
