In Year 6 at St. Paul's CofE Primary School, something truly special happened during National Poetry Day in 2023. The students delved into the world of poetry by studying a thought-provoking poem titled "Refugees" by Brian Bilston. This poem touched their hearts and sparked their creative spirits.
In Year 6 at St. Paul's CofE Primary School, something truly special happened during National Poetry Day in 2023. The students delved into the world of poetry by studying a thought-provoking poem titled "Refugees" by Brian Bilston. This poem touched their hearts and sparked their creative spirits.
The poem, "Refugees," shed light on the plight of those seeking refuge and the challenges they face. It inspired our Year 6 students to explore their own emotions and thoughts about this important issue. They embarked on a poetic journey of their own, crafting their unique versions of the poem.
With immense creativity and compassion, our Year 6 students gave voice to the experiences and emotions of refugees, using their words to raise awareness and evoke empathy. Their poems were like windows into the hearts and minds of those who seek safety and a better life.
National Poetry Day 2023 was not just about celebrating the beauty of language and self-expression; it was a week of learning, empathy, and solidarity. Through their poetry, Year 6 showed the world that even young hearts can be filled with understanding and a desire for positive change. They left an enduring mark on our school community, inspiring us all to be more compassionate global neighbours.
f you have any questions or comments, the first port of call is the class teacher.
We’re really excited about the year ahead and looking forward to teaching your children.
