National Poetry Day<\/a> has now been celebrated in the school library since 2003 but it was in 2004, when the theme was ‘Food’, that the Poetry Picnic was born.<\/p>\n

This annual poetry picnic took place in the school library at lunchtime on Thursday 4th October. Around 20 pupils and two members of staff\u00a0 joined us for some snacks and some poetry readings which involved a poetry pairs game. This was enjoyed by all. Before the end of lunch a couple of folk read out their own choice of poems as well.<\/p>\n

Pupil Comments & suggestions:<\/p>\n

Write a poem on a theme.\u00a0This has been done in the past and will be considered for the future.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It was all great. Nothing could be done to make it better.<\/p>\n

More drinks. This was a bring and share snacks event, so you could bring your own. \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I liked it. I don’t think it should change.<\/p>\n

You did nothing wrong and everything right.<\/p>\n

Was fun! Maybe next year could write couplets and say them.<\/p>\n

It was all great! I can’t think of anything to make it better.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
