R.E Visitor

Today, we had a special visitor, Joseph from Gateway Church, who led an Easter poetry workshop. He spoke to us about the Easter Story and its significance. Together, we explored a variety of Easter-themed poems and discussed their meanings.
A key focus of the workshop was personification poetry—something we hadn’t studied before. We looked at how these poems were written from the perspective of objects in the Easter Story, such as the nails on the cross and the stone at the tomb. We also explored different poetic techniques, including similes, motifs (repeated words), rhyme, and acrostic poems.
As a class, we created an acrostic poem before writing our own individual poems. The children found it fascinating to learn more about the Easter Story while experimenting with a new style of poetry.
