Poetry Slam

Year 7 Showcase Talent

In their English lessons, Year 7 students have been preparing enthusiastically for the forthcoming Inter-house Poetry Slam. This exciting event will see students from all four houses showcase their performance poetry skills, aiming to impress a panel of expert judges from Years 8 and 10.

To generate ideas for their poems, students were asked to bring in old photographs which interested them; these images provided starting points for drafting some thoughtful and original poetry. During a special lesson in the Learning Hub, students had the opportunity to read their poems aloud, trying out their performance skills. We have been impressed by our young poets’ creativity and the passion they have put into their practice readings; the Poetry Slam promises to be a thought-provoking and entertaining event!
