With great excitement, our poetry competition took place this morning.
The theme for Key stage 2 was “Love”. The standard was incredibly high and every class had listened to previous judges’ comments. Mrs Cann had the really tough job of judging today but was really impressed with by the high standard across all classes. The range of genres within the KS2 poetry recital included a sonnet, a verse from the bible, a prayer, a comedic poem and other meaningful poems. The Key Stage 2 winners were Class VW who recited 43 sonnet “How do I love thee?” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Mrs Cann praised their clear expression and dynamics.
The theme for Key Stage 1 was “Seasons” and once again Mrs
Cann found it incredibly hard choosing the winner as they all recited their
poems together, used great rhythm and every word could be heard. The
winners in Key Stage 1 were Class MB and Mrs Cann loved their actions, they
were in unison and she reminded everyone watching them, that some of them are
only 4 years old!!!
We also had a treat as some of nursery joined us and enjoyed watching too.
