We had a great start to the week (and 2023) with our Poetry Slam Assembly. All classes studied a poem or a particular type of poetry. For example, Year 6 studied sonnets (like the ones written by Shakespeare) and Year 2 wrote their own riddles. The assembly gave each class a chance to talk about their learning and share their poems with the school. We had a lovely assembly listening to poetry and learning about the different poetry styles we can read and write.
Ask the children which was their favourite style and why?
