4R Poetry Day

Lesson: English

What another fabulous day the children have had today!

Poet Andrew Tooze visited us today. He shared poems with us and inspired the children to write their own short poems. 

Year 4's theme was "Body Parts" and the children had five minutes to generate idea's and then a further 5 minutes to write their short poem.

They were all amazing and different. Some poems rhymed, some had repeating parts and some used similes and alliteration. 

We finished the day with a sharing assembly with the rest of the school and heard poems about animals, hobbies and family members. 

Oliver and Matilda were chosen by the poet to share their poems in the assembly.
