Humayra from 6 Scarlet wrote a stunning response to what she thought 'inequality' meant and how Benjamin Zephaniah's poem encourages equality and a diverse culture built on respect. Benjamin Zephaniah recognised her fabulous response and tweeted that it was 'Amazing!!' on Twitter. Well done Humayra, we are very proud of you!
Which opinion do you most agree with?
Year 6 were discussing the themes of the poem, "The British" by Benjamin Zephaniah. We agreed that while the poem is a celebration of diversity, it is a reminder of how interesting Britain is due to its history of migration and the role of the British Empire.
Year 6 planned what qualities they would include as 'ingredients' for their recipe poems about 'The Perfect World.'
Albie, 6 Scarlet wrote a poem in the style of a recipe about his 'ideal' world. What a better place the world would be if it possessed more of these qualities!
Bilaal, 6 Cherry performs with passion and assertion. It was a privilege and a pleasure to watch this! You are a future leader in the making.
The children showed off their digital literacy skills by creating these fabulous movie performances of their poems, "If I could make the World a better place!"
