This week, we celebrated Poetry Day on Thursday 3rd October.
Each class in school were asked to learn a poem throughout the week. This was when performed in front of the rest of the school and to the children’s parents and carers at the end of the school day.
Our poem was a plural nonsense poem. We had so much fun learning the poem and acting it out!
’If mouse becomes mice, could rat become rice? And if goose becomes geese, could chicken become cheese?’
This morning, the children took part in a poetry workshop with a visitor called Steve. At the start of the lesson, Steve sang an A-Z rap poem. He then performed a ‘gogglebox’ poem with the class. The children then performed their poem that they have learnt this week. Steve said that we performed brilliantly! The children then took part in some ‘mirroring’ actions, before taking part in the game ‘Don’t clap the rhythm back’. We continued with singing some poems, before writing up a poem that we all came up with as a class.
We then ended our Poetry Week with a whole school assembly presented by Steve.
