Literacy Week - The Jabberwock

Our group made dioramas to illustrate Lewis Carroll's poem, the Jabberwock.  Mrs Sutherland told us that the Jabberwock is a famous poem written over 150 years ago.  The Jabberwock is an evil monster, and the poem has nonsense words through it.  You can try to read the first five verses.

T'was brillig and the Slithy Toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe,
All mimsy were the borogroves and the momerathes outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my Son, the jaws that bite, the claws that catch.
Beware the Jubjub Bird and shun the frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand, Longtime the manxome foe he sought,
So rested He by the Tumtum Tree, and stood a while in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead and with its head He went galumphing back.
