Last week saw the full return of our annual Poetry Speaking Competition, following the Covid restrictions of the previous two years, which was wonderful! We were joined by guest poet, storyteller and musician, Rob Parkinson, who performed interactively with the children during the morning.

In the afternoon, we were treated to a fantastic song and year group poem by Years 1 and 2 respectively, followed by the competition itself. Three finalists in each class from Years 1 to 6 recited their poems with confidence, enthusiasm and excitement, in front of a large audience, with one winner from each class being announced.

Congratulations to everyone who took part, learning poetry, singing songs and exploring their creative side, and well done to the class winners.
