Please watch the children recite Joseph Coelho’s, ‘Take a Deep Breath’: the poem we have shared this week in celebration of National Poetry Day.
We really enjoy taking deep breaths and the sense of calm that this brings after a morning fizzing around Reception. The children considered which places make them feel safe, relaxed and happy.
Sophia is happiest at home: “I love all my family”. Maya enjoys her bed, which she describes as “nice and cosy”. Ruby relaxes with at her “Grandma’s”. Eliza’s happy place is “at the top of the climbing frame”. Rory feels most relaxed having “lunch with the buddies”. Poppy’s “playroom” is her sanctuary; she likes to “lie down and then jump up”.
Well done, RS, we are very proud of you!
Aw, I love this! Mia had us all doing the actions as she sang this beautiful poem.
Fantastic!
Well done everyone. We have loved watching the poetry performance. Sophia enjoyed practicing at home before going to bed to help her to relax.
What a wonderful video, so impressed at them all reciting the poem! Maya was very proud to watch it back and tell us the name of all her friends!
