This week our teachers have been SO impressed our poetry writing. We have been writing in the style of Maya Angelou ‘Still I Rise’. The vocabulary that we gathered linking to the topic was amazing and it has made our poems really emotional and hard hitting. We chose this poem as Maya Angelou writes about equality between races and her message is important for everyone to listen to. This is part of our equality week work.
We have also focused on poetry in our reading lessons as well. Last week, we focused on The Tyger by William Blake and we performed the poem in small groups. We put actions to our performances after watching a few different versions/performances by other people. This week, we will be focusing on poetry written by Benjamin Zephaniah - including Everybody is doing it.
