Last Term everyone in our class had to choose a Poem that they enjoyed for the Year 1-3 Poem Competition. It was a very scary experience so our teacher prepared us by sharing the Marking Criteria and with a lot of practise. We even had our parents help us at home. Miss Manuele gave us the opportunity to say it in front of the class if we were brave, which we all did eventually...before the actual class competition. Check out the criteria below along with our video of us giving it a go!
