Poetry with Paul Delaney

Date: 20th May 2016 @ 10:57am

Queen's Park School were lucky enough to have Paul Delaney in school today. First of all, he held a whole school assembly to entertain the children with his poems, then, he spent the day working with Year 5. 

The Year 5 children really enjoyed learning about Paul and listening to his humorous poems. Each child then created their own poem based on Paul Delaney's poem: 'There is nothing finer than...' 

After writing and editing their poems, the children were given the opportunity to perfom their poem to the rest of the class. 

Once all the children had completed, edited and performed their poems they were then judged by the adults. The winner will attend the St. Helens Primary Schools' Poetry Festival on Monday 4th July.

In Q5, the outright winner was Cymon Ellison (well done Cymon), he had used interesting word choices and had a great rhythm throughout his poem. 

The runner up was Anu Abe, her perfomance of the poem with actions was really effective (great work Anu).

Our reserve was Harrison Latta, he had some really imaginative ideas in his poem (good ideas Harrison). 

The whole of Year 5 really enjoyed Paul's visit and will be uploading their poems to his website:

to see if they can win one of his signed books. 

Thanks Paul.
