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:

We’ll be releasing the video of Alison ‘performing’ these poems on Monday!
Have a great weekend, on behalf of Alison,
Mr.Cook
