National Poetry Day
Class 4 have been celebrating National Poetry Day!
We composed our own group poems using powerful metaphors about the Moon (linked to our Power of Reading book "Moon Man").
We then practised speaking our lines confidently, and our parents helped us to learn them by heart at home.
On National Poetry Day (Thursday 28th September 2017), we held an Open Air performance in our Play Park, using musical instruments ,
and even a few dance and gymnastic moves!
Class 3 were our lovely, polite audience and then we also enjoyed listening to them read poems they had written on the theme of Freedom.
What a great day!
Read our poems below:
Six Ways of Looking at the Moon The Moon is a shiny, glistening tooth brightening up the pitch- black sky. The Moon is a soft, circular pillow in a large, black tent. The Moon is a luminous, gleaming, pink diamond lost in an endless palace. The Moon is an ebony pen, dipped in a gloomy bowl of ink. The Moon is a fluffy cushion on a dark-red, velvet bed. The Moon is a curved, magical ring in an unfilled sky. by Abi-Leigh, Ellie-Mai, Lincoln, Lily, Cole and Ethan Six Ways of Looking at the Moon
The Moon is a
crystal, diamond cave, floating in the starless sky. The Moon is a
dazzling, sparkling sphere in a glistening, murky space. The Moon is a
bright light shining in the sapphire sky.
The Moon is a giant, chrome bowling
ball ... rolling recklessly down a dark lane. |
