Hey, I'm Louise and the school poet at the Lenn Prime and I'll be hosting a lot of the poetry parties in March. Our theme is Happy Place. So I've made my own little happy place here. This is supposed to be a palm tree. Yep. This is like a guitar with some, I've pretend there's a fire behind it. It's actually some red flowers but I'm pretending that's a fire. So there's a fire on the beach. Someone's playing the guitar. There's palm trees. Look, I've got my holiday earrings in and my holiday outfit for all of me. Swimming costume. And I thought I'd share with you a poem about being on the beach and it's from a book called Poems Out Loud which Lillianne won actually because one of our children did really well in a competition with the Premier League and the Centre's. This is a free book. So this poem is called Brave in the Sea by Philip Watton. Braving the Sea. My feet are in. I think I'll freeze. No, my ankles, no, my knees. Should I dive now? Like I planned. Or should I run back to dry land? It feels too cold. I don't feel brave. Oh no, too late. I'm monster wave. I'm in. I'm in. I love the sea. I swim around and I feel free. Yay! Good job Philip for writing that poem. Good job me for putting on an extroverse. So I just put an extroverse on saying why I love to see that when you get in, you know, it's a bit cold in it. You don't really like it. And then after a bit it gets warmer. Even if you go to the sea at Blackpool, it gets warmer. Okay, so now we're going to do a read along. I'm going to put the words up, you know, on the screen. And I'm going to read it again, more slowly, and you can read along. Braving the Sea by Philip Watton with an extroverse from me. My feet are in. I think I'll freeze. No, my ankles. No, my knees. Should I dive now? Like I planned. Or should I run back to dry land? It feels too cold. I don't feel brave. Oh no, too late. A monster wave. I'm in. I'm in. I love the sea. I swim around and I feel free. I hope you enjoyed reading along. And now you can I'm going to just have the poem up now. Now pause it. You can have practice reading along and see if you can put some expression into your voice. You might notice some of the rhymes in it like feet and freeze and knees. Does it ankles rhyme? It doesn't does it, doesn't it? It's just feet and freeze and knees that rhyme in that verse. Not ankles. Okay, have fun and I'll see you at the poetry purter and we'll read this poem along again and there'll be loads of other fun ones to do with happy places and songs and dances. See you then, bye!
