Whilst preparing to celebrate World Book Day, the Reading Leadership Team at SJF have come up with some wonderful ideas that celebrate poetry this year - to film a performance or performances using poetry at the heart.
The children have worked together as a team to perform an amazing rendition of a wonderful poem that the whole class was very excited to share.
They have thoroughly enjoyed their recent history topic about the Vikings, and are still enraptured by our current reciprocal reading book: How To Train Your Dragon. Therefore, a poem about dragons was a very popular choice, and everyone worked together to make our wonderful performance possible.
Our poem is called “Has Anyone Seen My Dragon?”, a poem by James Carter. The poem uses humour and rhymes, with a memorable chorus that has become our theme of the week.
Some children have read parts of the poem, whilst others performed a part on film. Others, however, were involved in another important way, by creating some fabulous "Missing Dragon" posters that were then placed around the whole school. Classrooms and corridors, learning spaces and even the staff room were covered in the marvellous posters they made! It has become a whole school interactive experience, and every class is now wondering the same thing: Has anyone seen Year 4's Dragon?!
The children are very excited to share their performance with the rest of the school this World Book Day.
