National Poetry Day 20244 October 2024 (by admin) |
Voyagers and Discoverers read and explored several counting poems today. Aiming to inspire a love of poetry as part of National Poetry Day.
This years theme for poetry day was 'Counting'. The children explored several counting based poems including; How Many Jellybeans in a Jar and some even written by Mr Jeffery himself. They then created their own counting poems, where they had to choose the multiples that they were counting on in such as 5s, 10s, 9s or 11s. It was great to see the children applying their counting and understanding of number to create some really creative poems. They then had a jellybean jar challenge, which involved them estimating and working out how to effectively count the jellybeans in different jars.
Great poetry and counting skills Year 3 and 4!
