To celebrate National Poetry Day, the whole school was set a challenge to learn a poem OFF BY HEART. The children developed memory skills and performance skills during their drama lessons and all children were set a target to learn one poem as part of their homework.
Each class held a class recital on Thursday 7th October and winners were voted for. We then held a whole school poetry celebration assembly and listened to a variety of poems across the school.

Please click on a video below to listen to the children perform their poems. Can you tell which poems were the children’s favourite ones across the school?
