How do I use the Classical Poetry: One Activities?

In this activity, your child will have the opportunity to explore classical poetry by reflecting on Christina Rossetti's poem "What is Pink?" and using a provided template to create their own poem inspired by colours. The poem's use of language and descriptions will be discussed to help your child understand the patterns within.

This year one poetry topic is a great introduction to classical poetry for primary school-aged young learners, and it aligns with the National Curriculum of England's English requirements. Hands-On Education offers a range of subjects and topics for key stage one, so there is something for everyone. Additionally, Hands-On Education provides many resources to support primary school teachers and home educators, including videos, activity sheets, and easy-to-understand activity plans.

Joining Hands-On Education is free and offers exclusive educational materials for download and use.
