April 2022: Author Visit - Year 3
Tamsin Cooke came in to visit Class 8 with Yeovil Town Football Club. She started the session with some drama using freeze frames asking the children in groups to show various scenes, such as, a horse race, sleeping tigers, under the sea and more. She then moved on to ask the children to individually act out an animal and we had to guess who was what! Tamsin then asked the children to write down 4 adjectives to describe themselves and keep hold of them. This all tied into the final piece where the children had write a diamante poem starting with their name at the top, 2 of the adjectives, 3 verbs of things they like to do, 4 nouns of thing they love, 3 more verbs, 2 more adjectives and then their spirit anima at the bottom. This was written in the shape of a diamond. It was great to for the children to see a clear path from them to their spirit animal!
