As part of their English curriculum, year six have been studying some classic poetry.  Beginning with Robert Burns and culminating with Shakespeare, the class surprised themselves at how much they enjoyed reading, performing and analysing the poems.  Finally the class used Shakespeare’s famous Sonnet 18 (Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day…) as an inspiration for their own sonnets.  You may even find that some are written in iambic pentameter!
