Before Christmas, Bluebirds enjoyed reading the poem “The Night Before Christmas” and looked at the layout and rhyming couplets.
They also investigated the meaning of unknown words as this poem is quite old fashioned in places! Since returning to school, Bluebirds have been looking at the features in the poem “January Brings the Snow” and have made a recording of it for you to hear. Again this poem has some dated language which initiated lots of chat and investigation into unfamiliar language. Boys and girls took it in turn to read a verse each and tried hard to perform in unison.
