To celebrate National Poetry day, Class 4 learned about different types of poems. We found out about how they are useful for creating atmosphere and making people think. We also watched a video about whether or not poems should rhyme. Finally, we talked about this year’s theme of Truth and wrote out own Truth Acrostic poems.

25th National Poetry Day – 3rd October 2019

Class 6 watched a video of the wonderful Michael Rosen performing Chocolate Cake, by Michael Rosen. After discussing what made his performance so engaging, we had a go ourselves. In pairs, the children performed either, Conversation Piece, by Gareth Owen, or Ladles and Jellyspoons, which is a traditional English verse. They were all amazing!

The children enjoyed this so much that they volunteered to share their fun performances with children and staff from other classes across the school. Their efforts were appreciated by all. Well done to the eager bards of Class 6.

We have been tracking our shadows this week! We realised that our shadows move across the day, rather than staying in one place. This is because our planet is constantly rotating, meaning that the sun changes position in our sky during the day

Today we celebrated National Poetry Day. We took part in a poetry lesson based around truth (delivered by Simon Mole, a professional poet). We wrote our own truth poetry and added a bit of a spin to make them interesting for our readers. 

We have really enjoyed looking at snail shape poems. We then made our own animal shape poems – they look fantastic!!
