Home Learning Additional Task

Term 1 Week 3

This week we have been exploring poetry and learning our model text - If you could see laughter.  The children have been encouraged to discuss their opinions of the poem and talk about the features such as metaphors, similes, repetition, rhyme and rhythm.  In preparation for National Poetry Day on 1st October, we would like the children to find a poem that they really enjoy.  They can just talk to you about what they like, or they could bring it in to school to share - either in a book, as a print out from a website or perhaps copied with their neatest handwriting.  If they are really brave, they might want to recite the poem to the class and perhaps to the school on National Poetry Day. Here are some websites to help find some suitable poems:

Poetry By Heart | 7+ Timeline

The Children’s Poetry Archive - Listen to the world's best children's poetry read out loud.

Thank you as always for being so supportive of your child's education.
