Last week, the children were given the task – as homework – to learn a poem off by heart ready for today – national poetry day! We had an assembly to celebrate. Each class performed a poem. Year 6 performed ‘Daffodils (I wandered lonely as a cloud)’ by William Wordsworth and ‘The Spider and the Fly’ by Mary Howitt.
