Charge Of The Light Brigade

LI: To understand the story behind the poem.

This week we learnt about the poem called the Light Brigade. We had to unpack the poem bit by bit to understand the meaning behind the poem. The author of this poem is Alfred Lord Testiness. The story behind this poem is about the light brigade riding the valley of death and then trying to retrieve the guns that were stolen.They came back failing the mission, and coming out with nothing. 600 men went in less then one third came back ( less that 200). One thing that I enjoyed was unpacking the poem story bit by bit because I got to learn something new.

Writing / 2019 Speech / Poems finals / Pervasive speech

LI: To create a pervasive speech and a poem.

Today, the speech/poem finals winner performed their poems/ speech in front of the whole school.Their was a guest judge in with us, Mr Stevenson. The junior school presented a poem that they have learnt and the seniors presented a pervasive speech they wrote. Their were 12 presenters in total.

My favourite pervasive speech presenters was Fau, she was talking about mental health and how we should at least smile and make one complement to someone especially a stranger, she also asked us if we ever noticed how anyone feel's. She told us that a smile , complement and even a welcome can brightens someone days. Fau Had the confident all the way through while talking to the school about mental health.

My favourite poem presenter was micela. Her poem was humpty dumpty. She was also loud and clear, also she had the confidence to get up in front of the school and say her poem.
