To celebrate Scottish Poetry Day 2014 S1 pupils visited the library to take part in a poetry writing challenge. To aid them in this task pupils listened to BBC Arts footage of poets reciting some well loved children’s poetry.  Clyde Valley pupils especially enjoyed Michael Rosen’s retelling of Macavity the Mystery Cat by T.S. Eliot.

After listening to the poetry recitals all S1 pupils were set the task of creating their own poem using the theme Primary School Memories. The pupils rose to this task and Miss Douglas and Miss McGough enjoyed reading the finished work. The winning poem entitled, Sports’ Day, was penned by Eva Martinez, 1c1. Eva chose a copy of The Great Gatsby as her book prize. Congratulations, Eva!
