The pupils of P5/4 and P6/7 recently entered the Young Writers ‘Out of this World’ poetry competition. They were asked to create an imaginative poem on any theme which demonstrated a command of ambitious vocabulary, imagery, similes, alliteration and other poetic techniques. P5/4 chose to base their poems on Space while P6/7 chose the theme ‘Fireworks.’
We were absolutely delighted to return from the October holidays to the news that every single entry from St. Columba’s Primary School had been selected for publication in a national poetry anthology which will be released in January 2015. The teachers also received a very kind letter, complimenting them on the style, imagination and writer’s craft demonstrated by the children.
