As already mentioned in the P1 and P2 World Book Day Blog, we had a poetry day in school on  Thursday 8th March.  Stephanie from the Library Board read poems and stories to each of the classes, and there was great class participation in these sessions.  A very exciting part of the day was when the children got to say the poems they had been learning at home, in front of their own classes.  The children who had impressed their class the most, recited their poems in front of the whole school in the afternoon. 

We are also delighted that the P6 and P7 children will be going to the Ulster Hall in Belfast on Tuesday.  As part of Poetry in Motion Schools Programme, the children had written poems in school.  Emily and Leonard have been chosen to recite their poems to a large audience of school children at this special event on Tuesday. 

The photos below show some of the class sessions on our Poetry Day.  The children who performed in front of the whole school have also been included.  There is also a short video of some P5 poems.  Click here for video
