The theme for National Poetry Day this year was, “Freedom”.\u00a0 In P1\/2 we decided to look at the freedom we have to play and how fortunate we are to live where we do and have wonderful experiences right on our doorstep.\u00a0 This can clearly be seen in the beautiful photos sent in to help us with this!\u00a0 Thank you!\u00a0 The P1 children used their photo to complete the, “Freedom is…” sentence.\u00a0 P2 wrote acrostic poems to share their thoughts.\u00a0 The photos and poems are displayed in the dining area so please go and have a look when you are in for your parent appointments next week.<\/p>\n

We also really enjoyed listening to the poem, “I Opened A Book” by Julia Donaldson and we have spoken about what the poem is trying to tell us about using our imaginations when we are reading.\u00a0 The class enjoyed sharing their favourite book with a talking partner and drew and wrote about where their imaginations take them.<\/p>\n
