Space Poem Competition

World Space Week begins on 4th October and Thursday 6th October is National Poetry Day.

We are going to combine them together for our new competition for Y1-6.

I would like you to create a space themed poem. This could be about the planets, our solar system or maybe you want to make a poem about aliens.

Present your poem colourfully and you may win a prize in your class. Hand your completed poem to your teacher by Friday 14th October and the winners will be announced in assembly in the final week of the half term.

Good luck.

Imagine Poetry

Year 6 are hoping to enter the Young Champions Poetry Competition where they ahve to create their own imaginary poems describing something that they could be.

I have been blown away by their creativity this week basing their poems on a Pie Corbett poem called 'What are you?' We have tried to use oxymorons, similes, repitition and alliteration in our own poems. 

Please have a look at some of their wonderful poems!

Our sports coach Mr Williams has been really impressed with the progress that year 6 have made with their tag rugby skills over the last four weeks. They are understanding the rules better and are becoming skilled at passing the ball with two hands. 

Well done everyone.
