On Thursday, to support national poetry day, the children performed ‘Daffodils’ by William Wordsworth. Parents, teachers and pupils watched the performances, meaning the children had to be brave and show perseverance to learn and perform the poem. Year 5 took matters into our own hands (literally)! We painted our palms as beautiful daffodils to wave gracefully as they do. In the words of William Wordsworth…
‘and then my heart with pleasure fills and dances with the daffodils.’
The actions, voices and painting of hands were all fantastic ideas from the children – we all really enjoyed our performance.
