World Book Day in Year 1

In Year 1 we have celebrating World Book day by dressing as characters from our favorite story books and performing a class poem. 

We began the day by learning about our favorite performance poet Micheal Rosen, who is the author of the poem We Are Going On A Bear Hunt. The children loved watching and reenacting his poem by creating their own gestures, learning the rhymes of the poem through movement and learning actions. 

In the afternoon both Year 1 classes visited Year 2 to perform the We Are Going On A Bear poem to the Year 2 children. Who then gave feedback and praise to the children for their hard efforts in learning the poem off by heart in ONE DAY! Year 1 then watched Year 2 perform their nonsense poem written by Spike Milligan called On The Ning Nang Nong.

Well done Year 2!
