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!

There's a ...
jaw-snapper
teeth-gnasher
river-swimmer

fish-catcher
back-scratcher
cave-seeker
winter-sleeper

forest-dweller
grizzly-fella

sneaking, lurking
here and there...

you beware -

it's a BEAR

Term 6 - Writing Day

 We loved celebrating National Writing Day this year! It was really interesting to think about how authors and illustrators work together to tell a story, and we have made a fantastic class book full of stories about our proudest moments.  We also liked taking part in the challenges which came over the walkie-talkie during the day! A particular favourite was 'write your name in fancy'.
