Junior School poets who should know it!

Dr A George —

Here's another peak at some amazing technique during poetry week (hint: it's more fine than mine).

Move over Janet Frame and Lynley Dodd. Give up Michael Rosen and Allen Ahlberg. Our future greats are at Columba. While the youngest classes found poetry by another name among the picture books (did you know Mrs Cowley is a Dame?), the Year 5 and 6 classes used their library time to continue to reuse and recycle some worn out books into some amazing Blackout Poetry.

Here’s a closer look at some budding Year 6 writers who predicted this fine spell with their beautiful spring poems.
