The poems
Curriculum guidance
There are eight programmes in this series. Each of the first 6 programmes profiles a different contemporary children鈥檚 poet who introduces and then reads a selection of his or her work.
The final two programmes focus on classic poetry and include a selection of well-known poems often taught at Key Stage 2. These poems are read by the actors Maxine Peake and Julian Rhind-Tutt.
Using the audio
The programmes can be used in a variety of ways. You can listen to them in their entirety or listen to and focus on one poem at a time. Students can read the text of the poem before, during or after listening to the recording and there are suggestions in these notes for pre-, during-, and post- listening activities.
Using the images:
Each programme is accompanied by a composite picture inspired by the poems in that programme. These can be used:
to stimulate pre-listening discussion about what the poems might be about;
to explore themes in the poet鈥檚 writing;
to support reading of individual poems 鈥 the image can act as a visual reminder of topics, themes or narratives for students while they are completing work on poems;
to stimulate creative writing: pupils could pick two or three elements of the picture and combine them to stimulate a story. This might work well with a 鈥榗onsequences鈥 story frame: a framework of actions already written where pupils add in nouns taken from the image to make a story.
More detailed guidance can be found in the Teachers' Notes below
