Do you sometimes want to disappear, go unnoticed, have no attention drawn to you? Maybe you would like to go in disguise somewhere so no one would recognise you. The reverse might be true, you want to stand out, have people look up to you and admire you. Laugh at your jokes. Whatever you want to be or however you want others to see you this is a great poem to express just that!
Primary 7 have written poems after listening to Selima Hill’s Cow poem and another from our own S6 pupil, Emma.
P7 worked with S6 earlier in the year and really enjoyed hearing their voices and getting some feedback on their own creative work. A big thank you to Emma for giving us her poem as part of our lesson. P7 thought her poem was very moving and talked at length about the different parts.
P7 had a wonderful opportunity as part of National Poetry Day. We got to work with Mr Milne’s Higher Advanced Poetry class. It enabled the S6 pupils to lead the learning and the P7 pupils were able to hear poems and try out some of their ideas with an older (more experienced) writer.
Mrs Grant asked the P7s “What did you enjoy about the session with S6?”
Chatting to someone older and hearing their poetry was really good.
Listening to someone else’s work, someone you don’t know, with experience.
Hearing the S6’s poems gave me inspiration.
Just chatting to them was great, I got lots of ideas.
Telling us to listen for that ‘feeling’ when reading. Ben (S6) said, ‘If you don’t feel something when reading your poem, then you need to change it’.
The teachers witnessed an engaged group of young people from across the school working together creatively.
