Year 2 Remembrance Day poem

Year 2 Ennis wrote a poem in recognition of upcoming Remembrance Day. We followed an online lesson from the BBC with a real poet, then tried our own...

Under the soldiers, poppies grow

And some soldiers send them home

Guns blow

The soldiers go

The blood-stained grass and the poppies flow

So many died just for war

The poppies grow from the floor

Poetry Performances

 In Year 4, we have been learning about poems by John Lyons who lived in Trinidad. 

Two of his poems, Carnival Jumbie and Carnival Dance Lesson, were inspired by the annual carnival in Trinidad and Tobago. 

We performed these poems using musical instruments and our own actions. 

Check out our performances below.

4 Shakespeare will be performing their own original carnival poetry in their sharing assembly this Friday (18.03.2022)
