A set of 19 Arctic poems written for children to understand, enjoy and learn from. Perfect for teaching a topic on the Arctic. All written in different styles; to engage, inspire and teach about the Arctic whilst developing key reading, writing, speaking and listening skills.
The poems are descriptive whilst using facts to educate and inspire.
Each poem could spark a whole lesson, they start discussions on important geographical issues about the Arctic:
