A Shakespearean Sonnet

We really enjoyed reading and learning "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"
As usual Eden learns best when she can draw what she has learnt, so each line that she could she depicted in an artistic way, and then placed the explanation at the bottom. It was quite an eye opener for Eden and Niamh to learn how the poem was structured in terms of the usage of syllables and rhyming. It has made Eden more aware of looking out for patterns in other poetry.
It turned out so pretty that I have put it up as a wall display in the house.


I do love seeing whatever the children are learning coming out in the free art and their imaginative play. I noticed Niamh had created this picture of Romeo and Juliet. Niamh has also done quite a lot of copywork from the original score of Rome and Juliet.
