Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

7 Pioneer have celebrated the beautiful poetry they have created about the First World War in their lessons this week.

After working hard, drafting, redrafting, critiquing and finally writing their final piece, Pioneer have presented their poetry for the whole class to enjoy.

It is fantastic to hear how imaginative and empathetic each pupil is and celebrate the determination shown in finding specific words and figurative language to use in their poems. This resulted in the poems conjuring imagery about the horrors of the war.

The pupils practiced their poem in groups of six and received critique to help them project their voices and speak with interesting intonation.

All pupils showed courage and compassion when reading their poems and listening in the  audience to each other.

A big congratulations to all!
