Joined handwriting

It was National Poetry Day today. All the children wrote a poem about "myself" that will be entered into the Mobile library competition with a top prize of a £20 book voucher.
There were many different styles of poems chosen. Children wrote acrostics, rhyming couplets and poems with powerful language and repeating patterns.
What was really impressive was the fanatstic joined handwriting that everyone did.
In the afternoon we studied a spooky picture and thought about the sounds that could go with the picture. We then listened to a song, made about the picture, and in groups thought of souns that the group could add. The result was really good.
