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).

Molly has some great ideas for celebrating poetry on here Blog: Wrapped up in Books

Thanks to Rose for this fabulous interactive display for National Poetry Month. 

I love the creative use of a bookshelf space for the display.
