Year 4 Poetry Day
Year 4 loved celebrating National Poetry Day today. We based our poetry on emotions/ feelings and first discussed how our feelings can be put into zones or colours (zones of regulation). We even sang a ZOR song along to a live guitar instrumental. We then began to personify these feelings and create characters/places of this one zone or feeling. We looked at a poem for inspiration that was called ‘The Land of Blue’ before mind-mapping our own ideas and rhyming words.
The children wrote some excellent poems inspired by the zones of regulation and some of us enjoyed performing them to year 3! We have also videoed a few of us reciting our poems for you to hear!
This morning, the majority of the class were not the biggest fans of poetry. By the end of the day, the majority had changed their minds. We had fun with it, got creative and succeeded! Here are a few comments about our day:
“You’ve actually changed my mind on poetry now Miss Horseman. That was fun” - Josie
“That was the best morning ever”- Lilly
“Can I do my poem at break time too?” -Theo
