\"\"<\/a>The annual Poetry Picnic to celebrate National Poetry Day<\/a> was held in the library on Thursday 7th<\/sup> October at lunchtime. This year\u2019s theme was \u2018Home\u2019. Preparation started around two – three weeks in advance with notices being put up and staff being invited to submit their thoughts about \u2018home\u2019<\/p>\n

1M produced colourful poems as posters and 2z wrote down their thoughts on paper during classtime. The rest of S1 and S2 wrote down their thoughts on scrap paper during their library periods which were the collated and word processed for display.<\/p>\n

The event was attended by 31 pupils, mostly library regulars. They enjoyed the snacks provided and fully took part in the poetry pairs game where they tried to match cards with a poem about an animal home and animals on them. Pupils were to turn a poem card over and read out the poem (or short extract), then try to find the matching animal picture card. This ran for the whole session with pupils dropping in and out at each lunchtime bell. Prizes (book) were given to pupils with the most pairs. All attendees received a certificate of attendance.<\/p>\n
