Parkland Poetry
In our Parkland Poetry session, students explore existing literature inspired by nature and create their own poem, drawing on the outdoor surroundings as a stimulus.
During this session, students spend time in the outdoors exploring the emotions that nature can evoke. We will listen to poetry about the natural world and consider the purpose of the writing and the intended audience. Students will learn new vocabulary and terminology associated with nature and consider how they could use this language in their own writing.
Time is then dedicated to immersing the senses to be able to record the sounds, sights, smells and textures of nature before using these experiences in poetry composition. Suitable for Key Stages 3 and 4.
