National Poetry Day 20243 October 2024 (by admin) |
Aiming to inspire a love of poetry, this years National Poetry Day's theme is 'counting'.
Inventors and Pioneers looked at the poem "How to cut a pomegranate" and spent time discussing what counting might mean given the context. It was fascinating hearing their ideas and seeing how they could link the poem to different counting tasks. The children were very creative with their interpretations around what the poem meant/what it could be representing. After some of our super children volunteered to read sections of the poem and share their ideas, they also enjoyed listening to some of their favourite childhood counting poems too! What a great opportunity to explore and celebrate poetry.
