Poems and activities on the theme of light for primary school

This is a pdf document. The document contains a collection of poems on the theme of light, suitable for use in the primary school. The poems are categorised according to the age group they might be used with. Each of the poems has suggested activities that can be carried out by the children, ranging from singing/performing the poems in reception to the study of figurative language in years 5 and 6. From year 1 through to year 6 there are suggestions as to how the children might go about composing their own poems using a range of poetic devices and figurative language using the selected poems as models.
The poems written by the children could then be used as a whole school poetry celebration which might take the form of an assembly, an anthology of poetry or a display.
The theme for National Poetry day 2015 is 'light' .
