This week we have been listening to the work of Raymond Antrobus. The class have discussed his poem, ‘I Want the Confidence of’ and another one by a poet call Linnet, aged 15. We then thought about something we lack: confidence, loyalty, luck, bravery, a best friend. We compared this with people, animals and objects we imagine have this quality. We’d love to hear your thoughts on our work.
