How do I use the Classical Poetry: One Activities?

In this activity, your child will get introduced to classical poetry by considering the poem "The Cloud" by Christina Rossetti. They will analyse the poem, paying attention to the imagery and language patterns used. The activity will then inspire them to create their own artwork, which in turn will help them write about the shapes of clouds.

This activity is a perfect introduction to classical poetry for Year One learners and meets the National Curriculum of England: English. You can find many other activities that cover different aspects of the national curriculum for key stage one on our website. Resources can be used for those teaching their own children or students. We offer further English and Poetry topics such as classical poetry: two, tell me a story: one or tell me a story: two.

Primary school teachers and home educators will find tons of videos, activity sheets, and easy-to-understand activity plans to support children in their learning journey. You can create your free account today to watch and download our videos along with our exclusive educational material.
