National Poetry Day 20253 October 2025 (by admin) |
This week, our Voyagers and Discoverers classes celebrated National Poetry Day. The theme this year was Play, and we embraced it through rhythm, action, and plenty of fun.
We explored different poems and focused on learning “The Land of Counterpane” by Robert Louis Stevenson. To help us remember the verses, we used pictures and actions, which brought the poem to life for the children.
The highlight was performing as a whole class, in small groups, and even with some wonderful solo performances. The children showed fantastic confidence, creativity, and teamwork.
We were also delighted to welcome Mrs Killoran, who joined us to enjoy our Poetry Day celebrations. It was a joyful occasion that helped the children see how playful and powerful poetry can be.
