Poetry Writing

The children have been reading and 'innovating' on poems written by well-known poets such as Roger McGough, Kit Wright and Michael Rosen. Here are some beautiful descriptive poems based on The Magic Box by Kit Wright.

What is art?

Today we talked about what we think art is and why artists create artworks. We shared our ideas on a padlet. This is a great way for us all to work on one 'wall' at the same time. We had to be cybersmart and respect other peoples' posts. It is also important that we express our own ideas, not copy from someone else or paste from the internet. We will add more to this padlet over the next week or so.

Dancing Stars in Room 17

We were fortunate to have the wonderful team from Dances in Schools come and teach the whole school two dances in just two weeks.  Room 17 children (and teachers!) learnt a hip hop and a salsa.  It was a lot of fun and the children grew in confidence as they practised the steps each day.  By the second week they were ready for the performance. Here they are at their final rehearsal.
