Whatever your students' thoughts about wintertime, they can let us know in a poem!
There’s a chill in the air, the leaves have fallen, and the nights are long and dark; winter is here.
How do your pupils spend their winter days? Perhaps waiting for the snow to go sledding, or all cozy in front of the fire with a yummy hot chocolate. Will they be eagerly awaiting Santa on Christmas Eve? What is their New Year’s resolution? Perhaps nature in winter will inspire their poem... For many, winter is a time for family, friends, and kindness as well as exchanging gifts and parties!
Whether your students love or dislike winter we would love to know, we can't wait to read their poems...
Poems can be written or typed, and there is no line or word limit - your students can let creativity and expression flow! Once their poems are ready, email, or upload their work to us.
Your students poems could be published in a special Winter Wonderland poetry book. Plus, our favorite poet will also win a prize!
