World War II Poetry
This term, we are inviting the children to read and learn a WWII poem to share with their classmates. We’ve put together a selection to choose from, which you can download below, but children are welcome to find their own if they prefer. They should aim to be familiar and confident enough to read the poem with fluency, intonation, emotion and tone.
We will be asking children to read their chosen poems aloud over the week beginning Monday 18th March.
In addition, at the end of term, we will be having a history showcase and we would like to invite children to perform some of these poems at the event. If your child is interested in doing this, they will need to learn the poem off-by-heart and be ready to perform it to their class on Monday 25th March. We will be selecting the three strongest performers to recite their poems at our History Showcase on Wednesday 27th March.
We've entered a competition
The pupils from the two Yr 6 classes have each created a fabulous, unique, fantastic beast!
These have been entered into a Fantastic Beasts competition being run by Bristol Central Library. Watch this space for details about the forthcoming fantasy exhibition in which, hopefully, some of their work will be exhibited.
THE READ-A-NATOR - When your child has read at home, simply hit the button and click your child's class to add a point to their class tally. The class with the most points at the end of the term will win a treat.
