Reception and KS1 Reception and KS1 POETRY COMPETITION POETRY COMPETITION 2022 2022
KS2 have been running a poetry competition for a few years. This year we have decided to involve KS1 and Reception to give the younger children an opportunity to take part in a fun performance competition. As part of our curriculum , we teach a wide range of poetry. Reciting and performing poetry helps develop oracy and presentation skills as well as being fun! Each year group has been given a selection of poems from which children can choose one poem to learn and perform. We are looking for children to learn as much of their chosen poem as they can off by heart . Judges will be looking for expression, projection of voice and clarity from the recital. All children will be rewarded with a certificate for taking part. Class teachers will hear all children in their class that want to take part on a suitable day during the week commencing 7/2/22. They will put forward the top 3 children from their class to take part in the poetry recital on Tuesday 1/3/22 to coincide with World Book Day later that week. Parents of the children involved with be invited to the poetry recital and presentation of prizes. We look forward to seeing some enthusiastic performances! The poem choices and the poems are found on the following slides.

Jack and Jill Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown And Jill came tumbling after Jack got up, and home did trot As fast as he could caper To old Dame Dob who patched his nob With vinegar and brown paper Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown And Jill came tumbling after.
Old King Cole Old King Cole Was a merry old soul, And a merry old soul was he; He called for his pipe, And he called for his bowl, And he called for his fiddlers three! And every fiddler, he had a fine fiddle, And a very fine fiddle had he. Twee tweedle dee, tweedled dee, went the fiddlers, Oh there s none so rare As can compare With King Cole and his fiddlers three.
Use your arms Julia Donaldson Use your arms like a mother Rock your baby son or daughter. Use your arms like a policeman: Make the traffic stop and go. Use your arms like a diver, Poised to plunge into the water. Use your arms like an archer: Shoot an arrow from your bow. Use your arms like a swimmer: Do the breast stroke, do the crawl. Use your arms like a strongman, Lifting up a strong weight. Use your arms like a bowler, Running up to throw the ball. Use your arms like a scarecrow: Stick them out all still and straight Stretch, shrug, Fold, hug: Use your arms. Use your arms. Stretch, shrug, fold, hug Use your arms. Use your arms.

Rickety Train Ride Tony Mitton. I m taking the train to Ricketywick. Clickety clickety clack. I m sat in my seat. With a sandwich to eat. As I travel the trickety track. It s an ever so rickety trickety train, And I honestly thickety think. That before it arrives At the end of the line It will tip up my drippety drink.
Wind on the Hill A.A. Milne No one can tell me, Nobody knows Where the wind comes from Where the wind goes. Its flying form somewhere As fast as it can, I couldn t keep up with it Not if I ran. But if I stopped holding The string of my kite, It would blow with the wind For a day and a night. And then when I found it, Wherever it blew, I should know that the wind Had been going there too So then I could tell them Where the wind goes But where the wind comes from Nobody knows.
Polar Bear Spike Milligan Polar Bear, Polar Bear Do you ever bath? I seem to get so dirty Just walking up the path. My mummy scrubs me every night, To wash the dirt away. Somehow it all comes back again When I go out to play. Polar Bear, Polar Bear, How do you keep so clean? You always seem to stay so white No matter where you ve been. I wish I was a polar bear, So then every night If someone tried to bath me, I d growl at them and bite!
Theres a Monster in the Garden David Harmer If the water in your fishpond fizzes and foams And there s giant teeth marks on the plastic gnomes You ve found huge claw prints in the flower bed And just caught side of a two-horned head Put a stick in your front lawn with a piece of card on Look out everybody there s a monster in the garden! You haven t seen the dustman for several weeks Haven t see the gasman who was looking for leaks Haven t see the paper-girl, postman or plumber Haven t seen the window cleaner since last summer Don t mean to be nosy, I do beg your pardon Look everybody there s a monster in the garden!
