P6/7’s final visitor this week was Alison Cockburn, (Formally known as Alison Rutherford before her marriage) Edinburgh poet and socialite. We were lucky enough to have an ACTUAL visit from Alison. She told us about her friendship with Robbie Burns, her parties in her Edinburgh town house, and her love for the English language. With Alison, we wrote an acrostic poem. We read her version of ‘Flowers of the Forest’, and created our own ‘Flower Acrostic’. Mr Cook was unfortunately at the dentist, so missed her visit…
Our poems are below, click on each image to enlarge:

I wish I had seen Alison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are some great poets in P6/P7! I hope you had a great lesson with your visitor and asked lots of questions about poetry and writing acrostic poems. I also hope you offered her a cup of tea as she must have travelled far to come all the way from the 18th century!
