A SPECIAL WELL DONE TO MR HARVEY'S POETRY RECITAL GROUP
An especially proud moment today was seeing the second group of six children perform their poems, not to the rest of the class, as we usually do, but to a room full of adults and children! In Mandela Class we are lucky enough to have Mr Harvey work with us to help a different group (each half term) to learn a poem off by heart and recite it to an audience. This is a skill, which is not only part of the Year 6 expectations for reading, but is also a life skill which prepares the children for High School and beyond. It always amazes me how all different types of children respond to the task and the change which occurs in their confidence and ability in just 6 weeks. Well done to this group who had the additional challenge of reforming to such a large audience!
