National Poetry Day 2008 was on October 9th. It was celebrated by thousands of people across the UK with poetry marathons, children’s competitions, and hundreds of poetry readings from Shetland to Jersey. Many of the resources including lesson plans and e-cards are still available so do explore the site or click here to see a short film on YouTube made by if:book. They celebrated our theme of WORK with the people of Covent Garden.
We are already planning hard for next year’s event, on Thursday October 8th 2009. Once again we will have plentiful resources for all sorts of poetry readers and listeners. In the meantime get ready for our blog which starts in November.
