Today is Michael Rosen Day! You might know him as the beloved author of We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. This morning, we joined hundreds of other schools in a live poetry webinar with Michael Rosen himself! This afternoon, each class will be creating their own poems inspired by the theme of kindness and there will be prizes for the best poem from each class.
