The Magic Box Poetry Superstars

This week, Year 3 focused on Poetry - listening, creating and performing poetry.

We looked at lots of different forms of Poetry; from Rap to song lyrics to traditional poems to nonsense poetry.

(the children especially loved Spike Milligan performing On The Ning Nang Nong and asked for it to be played quite a few times.

We then used the beautifully descriptive poem by Kit Wright, The Magic Box, to think of all the wonderful, strange and sometimes quite bizarre things that we may put in our own magic box. The children used all of their senses to think what smells, sounds, sights and tastes they would like in there.

We have recorded some children performing their poems - please visit the Video Resource Centre in the Children tab on the website to have a look and listen.
