English: Poetry performances

Presenting our poems to our peers

To end all of our impressive poetry work last week, we used this morning to practise performing our poem independently before performing to a partner and then, for some of us who were willing, to our whole class. Focusing on pace, volume, accuracy and expression, we used these 4 elements to assess each other's performances and to constructively critique what went well and what could be improved. This type of exercise really helps to build the children's confidence in their writing and allows everyone to celebrate their hard work together. It also enables the children to see how people can have different opinions on the same performance. Team Amin have written some brilliant poems which really showcase their learning and dedication. Please do feel free to pop up and have a look - I know some of them can be seen online already!
