Poetry by Heart - School wide celebration of poetry for World Book Day
We're celebrating poetry for World Book Day and we're going to do this by having a school wide Poetry event!
Each child is asked to choose a poem, learn it by heart, and perform it out loud!  Children will perform their poem in class after half term. Two children from each class will be selected to go through to a year group 'semi-final'.   From that group, two children will be selected to go through to the 'Grand Final' on World Book Day (3 March).
Here are the key dates:
Now!
Last week's homework task for all children was to learn a poem by heart.  We have created a collection of poems for the children to choose from, but children can also select their own choice of poem if they wish.  The homework task will be for two weeks - the last week of the half term and half term week itself. To view the poetry collection click here. There are a good range of poems - something for all ages and abilities. We're asking the children to be aspirational and ambitious in their choice!

Monday 21 - Friday 25 February
During the week, each child will perform to their class.  Teachers will select two children to go through to the year group final.

Monday 28 Feb - Wednesday 2 March
