Poet-Tree

By Sarah Bartlett

Here's a fabulous twist on the Poet-Tree idea from Sarah at Ashburton College.

Through the week their students had lots of fun creating 'spine poetry'. The resulting 'poems' were photocopied and used to ‘foliate’ the tree.

Love it! Thanks for sharing Sarah.

Poetree

By Elaine Pearson

Here is our 'poetree', blooming with poems selected or written by our staff and students.

It has been enormous fun discussing and choosing our poems! The students also had a go at some 'blackout poetry' with some very creative and interesting results!

National Poetry Day (New Zealand)

By Elaine Pearson

To celebrate National Poetry Day on Friday 28th August we have arranged several activities in the library. This display is to link in with the activities.

English classes have been invited to the library to spend a period looking at poems and either selecting a poem for our Poetree or doing some 'blackout poetry' (more on that later).
