Last week, Michael from Paddle Boat Theatre Company, came in to school to support Year 3 with their poetry writing.  Based on Vincent Van Gogh ‘Starry Night’, the children spent the first day bringing the painting to life creating soundscapes and acting out what could be happening in the scene.

On the second day, the children used their learning from the previous session to start recording ideas and thoughts for their poems.  They used their senses to describe what was happening and enhanced their writing by including adjectives, similes and metaphors.
