Rosen Rhyme Time – Celebrating Michael Rosen in EPO!
This week, our Enhanced Playtime Opportunities (EPO) team has been celebrating the wonderful world of Michael Rosen, with a special Rosen Rhyme Time theme in the lead-up to Michael Rosen Day on Thursday 12th November!
Michael Rosen is one of Britain's best-loved children's poets and authors, famous for his funny, energetic and memorable poems and stories. From Chocolate Cake to We're Going on a Bear Hunt, his work encourages children to enjoy language, explore rhyme and rhythm, use their imagination and, most importantly, have fun with words!
Our EPO team has brought some of his much-loved poems and stories to life through a range of exciting activities. Children have enjoyed racing around collecting chocolate cakes, embarking on their very own Bear Hunt adventure, creating colourful rhyming posters and inventing hilarious excuses. There has also been a quieter poetry corner where children could share favourite poems and have a go at performing them.
The children have had a fantastic time getting involved, laughing, creating and exploring the fun of poetry through play. It has been wonderful to see so much enthusiasm and imagination across our playground!
A huge thank you to our EPO team and pupil play leaders for making this week's activities so engaging and bringing Michael Rosen's words to life.
At Sinclair, we know that reading, stories and language aren't just for the classroom -they can be enjoyed everywhere, even in the playground!
We're definitely going on a bear hunt again!
