National poetry day

 This week we have celebrated  National Poetry Day. The theme this year was refuge and we talked about what a refuge is. We discovered that a refuge is a safe place so we talked about our safe places. We read a poem called Nature Trail by Benjamin Zephaniah which is all about a garden being a refuge and safe place for animals. 


We then drew and painted pictures of our own safe places before writing poems using our senses to describe our safe places.
