The Wombats have thoroughly enjoyed exploring some new poetry this term. They were inspired by the poem ‘When The Colours Spoke’ by Grace Nichols, which led them to create beautiful watercolour paintings that reflected the colours and shades presented in the poem. Their inspiration didn’t stop there, the Year 5 children demonstrated their amazing writing skills by creating their own class version of the poem. This hangs proudly on the wall in the Wombats’ class.
