Miss Davies’ performance poetry family task - Week 1

Hi everyone! Every week I am going to be sending you a poem.

The whole family can join in learning and performing it!

Here is some excellent advice from the maestro Michael Rosen to help make your performances really good https://www.penguin.co.uk/articles/children/2017/michael-rosen-s-top-tips-for-performing-poems-and-stories/.

I will try and include videos of poets/children performing the poems to inspire you but your ideas will be the best. Have fun!
