National Poetry Day - 4th October 2018

National Poetry Day will take place on Thursday, 4 October 2018 and encourages everyone to discover and share poems. The theme this year is 'Change'.

There are some excellent free resources available on the National Poetry Day website and, closer to home, the Scottish Poetry Day website. SPL have produced some fantastic downloadable posters and learning notes on the six poems they have chosen this year - "My Pitch" by Jackie Kay seems particularly apt for Black History Month, and "Dr Wha" by James Robertson might prove popular with all the hype about a certain sci-fi series starting again on 7th October...
