What a lovely surprise just now when I opened X! So delighted to hear that my poem inspired them to enjoy some poetry!Thatโs what itโs all about! And I love the poem you have posted. Well done and thank you Yr 3 and @lozzakidwriting for making my day. ๐.
My Yr3 class can be tricky to engage but today we explored poetry. Despite initial protest they loved the @TheDirigible and particularly this poem by @dragontripper. which we used as a template. One particular child's poem from beginning to end. Thx Val
