Nursery rhymes: reading poetry

5 lessons

Threads

  • Appreciation of poetry

Description

In this unit, pupils explore poetry by learning different nursery rhymes, some familiar and some unfamiliar. Pupils learn to listen to, discuss and recite nursery rhymes. They also consider rhyming words, tune and actions. Pupils learn to share their opinion on their preferred nursery rhyme.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' exposure to nursery rhymes in the EYFS as an introduction to poetry. Pupils will develop speaking and listening skills to discuss and perform a range of nursery rhymes. They will be supported to develop their own opinion on what they have heard and listen to others' opinions. Pupils will also compare nursery rhymes by considering similarities and differences. This prepares pupils for the next poetry unit 'Zim Zam Zoom by James Carter', where they will be introduced to the terms 'poet' and 'poem' and compare and perform a range of poems by James Carter.
