National Carrot Day and National Poetry Day

National Carrot Day and National Poetry Day

On Thursday the students very much enjoyed the fact that it was National Carrot Day, and had great fun including Kevin the Carrot in many of their lessons.  The general consensus was that he always participated with a smile on his face, but struggled to join in when answering questions or with group discussions!

To recognise the National Poetry Day Mr Wharton discovered the following poem about a carrot by Ibsen.

Beneath the earth, in soil so deep,
A carrot grows, in quiet sleep.
Orange and bright, with leafy crown,
It stretches up, but stays underground.

Crunchy and sweet, a humble delight,
It hides in shadows, out of sight.
But pull it up, and you will see,
A treasure buried, just for me!
