Make a list of things you may have done/played with when you were a child, but would not enjoy now.
- Watching kids TV programmes. E.g. "Barney", "Teletubbies", "Tweenies", and "Pingu", "Tots TV"
Playing with Barbie dolls. - Playing with Tinky Winky.
- Playing in my dolls house.
- Playing on my swing.
- Getting muddy!
- Jumping in puddles!
As you grow up, how do your feelings change about these things?
- My feelings have changed because I hate getting dirty and I'm much more mature now. E.g. I watch more grown up TV programmes now, and I don't tend to play with toys no more.
Some Early Thoughts
- I think that the poem is about a bit of an adventure and growing up. This is because the poet talks about how as a child, he came across one day, of frogspawn and became very interested in dirty things like swamps, and frogs.
- The opening lines evoke nature beatifully. This is because Seamus Heaney uses images such as ' bubble gargled delicately'. It creates a calm image where everything moves slowly due to heat.
