Year 5 Slam Poetry Week

Year 5 have had a very busy week looking at ‘Slam Poetry’. Slam is an international phenomenon, involving poets writing and performing their poems in front of a panel of judges.  They are judged and scored on the poems style and the performance in delivery. The children have had to write three poems on a range of subjects, including some slang for dramatic effect and perform their poem to the class. We were lucky enough to get some seasonal inspiration with the beautiful frost this week.

There has been a knockout system in place, with the final being today. The quality of work was fantastic and all the children should be very proud of themselves. The winning result was a draw for James and Jack, who entertained us all with actions and onomatopoeia throughout each stage. Well done boys…international stage next!
