National Poetry Day

11/7/2014

National Poetry Day,
Was hectic in every way,
I was invited into a school
To rhyme and write and play.



I love being a part of the funeverse, especially when I get invited into a school to work with their classes as part of National Poetry Day. 


St. Mary Magdalen's in Penwortham did just that and I was able to work with every class from Reception up to Year 6 both performing and writing poems, just for fun.

In Key Stage One we created some monstrous performance poetry inspired by the funeverse's poems and Kate Pankhurst's monstrously funny illustrations.

Years 3 and 4 pulled up the anchor and set sail on a piratical poetical adventure. Helped along by the illustrations of Sally Kindberg and Mike Brownlow.

While Years 5 and 6 learned how to build dramatic tension and then twist the ending for a funny punchline. Sam Zuppardi created the images that inspired us.
The kids were brilliant and really entered into the spirit of poetry day producing some amazing poetry. Let me leave you with Year 3's collaborative poem, 'The Pirate Party.'
