Poetry Week
Poetry Week with Conrad - February 2018
Rosebank celebrated Poetry week in order to inspire children to write and perform poetry. During this week, Rosebank was visited by the Creative Writer and Poet, Conrad Burdekin. Conrad and the children worked together to create a poem for each class. The children performed their poetry to the rest of the school with great enthusiasm and expression. Below is a sample of their great work;
I want to be an InventorI want to be an inventorExactly like my dadHis lab is in the garden shedMy mum says he is madI'll need some nerdy knowledgeAnd some crazy hairGorgeous, goofy gogglesA thousand pounds a pairDon't forget the experimentsWith chemicals that stinkMixing lots of potionsIn the kitchen sink!I must increase my brain sizeUntil it fills my headBut not until tomorrowI have to go to bed!By Owls Class, Year 4
