National Poetry Day

Thursday 6^th October was National Poetry Day and Class 1 celebrated this with the poem ‘Here Comes a Hedgehog’ by Brenda William and Brian Moses. We started by listening to the poem and identifying the rhyming words. We then story mapped the poem and added actions to perform it. Throughout the day, the children took part in various hedgehog related activities, from making a hedgehog card to building a hedgehog house for the school.

Here Comes a Hedgehog by Brenda Williams and Brian Moses

Here comes a hedgehog

Small and round.

Here is a leaf pile

On the ground.

In goes the hedgehog

To make his bed.

Rolls in the leaves

Then rests his head.
