Welcome St Anthony’s pupils and parents! A huge thank you to all of you who shared photos and videos of you looking all cosy in your fantastic reading dens! I heard some fabulous reading too! It makes me so excited to think of you all reading so much! Let’s keep it up all summer!
Be prepared to laugh today!
Today’s challenge is to read and listen to the one and only Michael Rosen’s poems and stories and tell me which one is your favourite. I have added a survey for you to complete, once you have read and listened to all the poems and stories added here today, or maybe you can tell us about a favourite one you have of your own?
Click here to find lots of Michael Rosen poems and stories.
We’re Going on a Bear Hunt
Chocolate Cake
NO BREATHING
The Rosen Rap
Hot Food
Here is a link to see more of Micheal Rosen during authors live. You will get to find out a bit more about him and why he loves writing and performing poetry.
Now you can click the link below to complete the survey, telling me which of these is your favourite or tell of any other one of Rosen’s poems you love! You may need to ask your parent to help you.

HERE IS THE REALLY FUN PART! I would love to hear your Michael Rosen impersonation! All of the children I have taught before love to have a go in class and we find it really fun! Post yourself on twitter or team making the funniest Michael Rosen noises and expressions. You could also tell us what poem or story you love best! This will be such a fun way to end our last week of school and remind us what fun it is to be in school.

I hope you love Michael Rosen as much as I do! Maybe this will inspire you to read more poetry! Check out this link to read more poetry during lock down. Enjoy!
