Pyjama Day & Primary Poetry Cafe
In the final week of Term 3, Middle Primary celebrated a wonderful term of learning by combining Pyjama Day with our very first Middle Primary Poetry Café!
Dressed in their cosy pyjamas, students enjoyed spending time together while listening to their classmates share original poetry they had written throughout the term. With a delicious hot chocolate and brownie to enjoy, it was a lovely opportunity for students to celebrate their creativity and confidently share their work with others.
Students also moved through a range of activities that drew on our poetry learning from across the term. One special activity was creating a Psalm Praise Wall. Throughout our poetry unit, we explored how God has used poetry in the Bible to communicate with us, particularly through the Psalms. Students reflected on the rich words and imagery used to describe who God is and added their own words of praise to our wall.
The Poetry Café was a wonderful way to finish the term, celebrating not only how much our students have learnt about poetry, but also the creativity, confidence and joy they have shown along the way.
We are very proud of our Middle Primary poets!

Student reflections:
The sweet scent of brownies and hot chocolate filled the air while we read our poems together.

The poetry cafe was the best! It was an amazing chance to express ourselves and see our friends! The hot chocolate was so sweet and the brownies were delicious. We had so much fun making bookmarks and writing for the praise wall!
