NATIONAL POETRY DAY

On Thursday, it's national poetry day and in celebration of this, we are going to spend the day listening to and creating our own poems.

Here are 2 of my favourites, the first one we used to read to Sam, my son when he was very little, which he loved. It's called 'The Ning Nang Nong' by Spike Milligan.

The second one is a  more recent favourite. I wonder if you can guess why? It's called 'No Breathing In Class' by Michael Rosen.

Both poems are performed by the men who wrote them.
