April is National Poetry Month.

So Kids are Leaders have decided to make the educational resource giveaway during the month of April …..

“Poems for Young Children” – Compiled by Tig Thomas

More than 300 delightful poems about nonsense, everyday life, magic and nature are brought to life with charming colour  and amazing illustrations on every page.

The book is a treasure chest of words, full of delightful poetry to suit all moods. There are simple definitions to explain complicated words, and interesting facts to enrich your understanding of poetry.

The oldest poems in this book are around 400 years old, but they speak of experiences anyone can understand – having a cold nose in winter or hearing the first cuckoo of the year.

Poets include famous favourites such as Robert Louis Stevenson, Edward Lear, Chrsitina Rossetti and Lewis Carroll.

***The Poems about Fun and Nonsense***

Some of these poems are just plain nonsense, others make sense but are delightfully funny. There are riddles to solve and limericks to laugh at, as well as some longer comical verses to puzzle and amaze.

***The Poems about Enchanted Lands***

Here you will read about faires, goblins, witches, elves, mermaids and even a visit from Father Christmas.

This is the poetry of magic, enchanted lands, romance and imagination.

***The Poems about All the Day Long***

These poems are all about everyday life.

We get up, eat breakfast, play with toys, get cross, feel happy, eat lunch, read books, kiss the people we love, go to sleep, just as people have been doing for centuries.

***The Poems about A Wonderful World***

Here you will find verses about trees, flowers, animals, the weather, the seasons and the sea.

These poems celebrate the wonderful world we live in and remind us that nature is special, beautiful and exciting.

To WIN your own copy of this amazing collection of poems you will need to write your own poem about one of the following topics:

People of all ages are eligible to participate.

Your Vision of Learning in the 21st Century

Things that Inspire You

Innovation

Life

Your Dreams

Your Goals in Life

Your Vision of the Future

Using Technology in the Classroom

All entries MUST be published into the comment box located at the top of this blog towards the right -hand side of the title. You can find the comment box by hovering your mouse over the grey speech bubble. By doing this the speech bubble will change to a different colour, when it does, click the speech bubble and post your poems.

Looking forward to reading your wonderful poetry!

Cheers

Diane :-)

HAPPY HARMONY DAY EVERYONE!

The 2012, theme for Harmony Day - 

Sport – play . engage . inspire

Today we recognised:

The positive and important role sport has in our culturally diverse nation.

Sport unites a range of people and develops a sense of acceptance, understanding of cultural diversity and belonging.

Today in class with my year one students we celebrated Harmony Day and created the following visual art works.

We used the dove because it’s a symbol of PEACE!

Also we used the colour orange because it’s the colour worn each year to represent Harmony Day.

We hope you enjoy them!

Cheers :-)

We hope a Happy Harmony Day was had by all!
