Hello brilliant 6th class!
Today's quotes comes from America. If you didn't see this poet yesterday speaking at Joe Biden's inauguration, then I advise you to.... Remember the name Amanda Gorman, she is going to be a poet that you will be studying for years to come I have no doubt! Also what fantastic examples of showing resilience and overcoming adversity both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are 💪 (We'll study them both in more detail next week)
