On Thursday 2nd October, we took part in National poetry day across the academy to celebrate the joy, rhythm and power of poetry. It was an amazing opportunity to further expose pupils to poetry.
The children have been brilliantly engaged, exploring a wide range of poems which they have enjoyed reading, celebrating and in some cases performing with incredible enthusiasm.
Please see below some of the poems that have been studied during this week.

The Nose Boogie
Scrunch your nose, wiggle your nose
Blow your nose, smell with your nose.
Scrunch your nose, wiggle your nose
Blow your nose, extend your nose.
Scrunch your nose, wiggle your nose
Blow your nose, smell your toes.

Beautifully Different, Wonderfully The Same
Beautifully Different, Wonderfully The Same
The same laughter erupts when a joke finds its giggle
Same whoop, same cheer, different smiles
The same rhythm rocks us when a dance makes us wiggle
Same hands, same feet, different styles.
The same warmth in our bellies when we choose to be kind
Same hug, same high-five, different bodies
The same happiness finds us when friendship binds
Same goal, some win, different players.
The same sadness within us when darkness creeps
Same eyes, same sobs, different tears
The same joy on our faces when we're no longer apart
Same blood, same beat, same hearts.

As part of our inquiry learning we learnt this poem and then wrote our own version.
Love Is
Love Is
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Sonnet 18: Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day?
Sonnet 18: Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day?
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
The children have worked really hard at unpicking the language being used. We have looked at the themes within the poem.
