Pre-Prep Literacy Week – The Beauty of Poetry

Adjectives, alliteration, similes and metaphors were tripping off the children’s tongues (and the end of their sharpened pencils) when PP1 and PP2 set about writing their own poems about one of their favourite topics: animals. All of their work will be sent into a national poetry competition and may even be shortlisted for publishing by ‘Young Writers‘. All our budding poets put Tennyson and Blake to shame as they truly excelled at this creative task. We have chosen a few to share with you here.
