Language Alive – poetry workshop

On Monday, Year 4 were lucky enough to take part in an exciting poetry workshop led by Language Alive. We imagined ourselves in the future, in 2020, when the president has made outrageous laws, including making poetry illegal. We worked in role as undercover newspaper reporters to infiltrate the poet’s gang and find out his plan. In our role, we learnt the poetry rules and used them to make our own poems. We made up new words to describe ordinary objects, used our feet to feel the beat and had great fun thinking of new ways to describe a spider. It was a fantastic afternoon and it has inspired us to work on our own poems and songs this week.DSC00591
