This week in English, Year 6 have been exploring poetry through their core text, The Undefeated. Working in pairs, the children identified key features of poetry, with a particular focus on repetition. They discussed how repetition can emphasise key messages, create rhythm and evoke emotions, considering the impact this technique has on the reader. The children then applied their understanding by using a repeated phrase to create their own stanzas, experimenting with language to develop meaning and impact.
