Homework for half term

Hello ladies, 

Your homework over half term is to rehearse and practice your performance of your poem. In the first lesson back after half term we will be performing our poems to the rest of the class. I will select our running order at random, you must be ready to perform in that first lesson. 

When you are rehearsing ask yourself, have I?
¡Changed pace
¡Changed tone
¡Changed volume
¡Changed body language
¡Used gestures
¡Used Facial expressions

Remember Malika Booker's advice about rehearsing in front of a mirror. 

Don't worry, you will be fine.........keep calm and perform! 

Have a good half term.

7Y3 Performance Poem

Hello 7Y3, 

Here is the poem that you and I created in this morning's lesson. Please feel free to comment on this post and share anything you think about the poem. What aspects of the poem do you like and why? 
What would you change if you had written it or had the chance? 



Cool breezes gently hug warm bodies
Hills roll to the distance
Snow on mountain tops like a dusting of icing sugar on a slice of cake
Clouds cover summits as bubbles do in bathtubs
Lakes are grand puddles on earth’s rocky surface

Stunned silence
Open mouths like muted screams
Peaceful mood
Breath taken
Wonder

Melting pot of accents
Sharing experiences
Chit chatting, chirpy conversations
Rolling eyes from bored faces
Ears protected from mind-numbing attacks

Yawns supressed
Hoodies are blankets over sleeping bodies
The sand man has visited the sleepers
Some catch zzzzz’s
Out like a light

Paris purrs
City of lights
Sky scrapers
Romance is in the air

Pickpockets
