Performance poetry and Stomp!

Our literacy topic at the moment is performance poetry. Last week we read and performed a poem called 'Fruit picking.' We worked in groups to establish a steady beat using percussion instruments to help, then we each performed a verse of the poem.

We also enjoyed taking part in the Stomp! workshop. A teacher from the music service came in and taught us all about rhythm and pace in music. We worked as a whole class, using unusual instruments such as trays, bins, tins and lids to create pieces of music.
