As part of our National Poetry Day (weeklong) celebrations many classes joined the creators of The Star Whale for a very special end to the week.

Year 5S also shared what they had been doing to celebrate.

This week during library sessions children have been listening, reading and sharing poems. Older children in KS2 also took part in the Poetry Trail that Miss Whiteley made. The feedback of which has been very positive with many children stating that they really enjoyed the different types of poems and activities.

This week the group have been getting creative. In tow groups they have been writing their own scripts, thinking about stage directions and props.

The scripts they are writing are loosely based on one of the books ‘Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Being Good and their own Gods and characters that they created in their stories earlier in the term.

Next week we will be sharing poems and completing a poetry trail in the library (KS2) during library sessions.

Don’t forget to enter the poetry competition – the poem can be any length, written in any format but must be linked to the them ‘Refuge/A Safe Place’

Get you entry form from your teacher or Miss Whiteley.

Closing Date Friday 20th October.

Today’s club focused on creating our very own scripts featuring on our made up Gods and their friends and associates.

Next week we will be continuing to write our scripts, choosing which ones we will perform.

The club were really excited this week – it was voting time!

Armed with their voting slips the children choose different areas of the library and then handed their completed slips into Miss Whiteley.
