This week the focus has been performance poetry. Year 3 have been considering what makes a good performance and offering ideas and suggestions for improvements to their own performance and also to the performances of their peers.
The week started with a poem called The School Kids’ rap which allowed Year 3 to explore the rhythm of the poem when performing. Followed by Fruit Picking by Jack Ousbey. For this poem Year 3 were challenged to compose and perform a percussion accompaniment. The end of the week Year 3 looked at a poem called No Word of a Lie by Jackie Kay.
