Welcome to the fifth FutureZone Poetry Course.
You will be studying a poem a week for 5 weeks in class and sharing your ideas and thoughts on this blog with one another.
At the end of the course you will be able to enter a poetry competition. Every pupil who enters will have their work published.
Each school will have its own Poet of the Year while one student will become the FutureZone poet Laureate of the Year.

Here’s one of my favourite poems. It’s by William Carlos Williams and is known as “The Red Wheelbarrow” although the poet didn’t give it this title.
It was an unusual poem for it’s time. Do you think it’s poetry?
Lillie from Rotherfield shared this poem as her favourite. It’s called the Ning Nang Nong.
Please share your poems with us here.
We’re looking forward to reading them.
Remember you can leave feedback for other students too. If you do:
Focus on the positives.
Provide specific praise: e.g. “I like your use of line breaks” rather than “It’s the best poem ever”
