Poems for Children of the Coronavirus Era

This is a collection of seven modern, original poems written about children’s experiences during the pandemic this year.
Poem titles/topics are:

• NHS
• Clap for carers
• What did you do during lockdown
• Assembly
• Bubbles
• Washing hands
• Lessons

All poems rhyme and offer reflections on children’s experiences during and since lockdown, including changes that have occurred in their day-to-day school lives compared to before lockdown.

They could be studied as part of a unit on poetry or as part of the recovery curriculum as it provides plenty of stimuli for children to discuss, compare and empathise with their own feelings and experiences of living with the coronavirus pandemic.
(NB Topics of death and bereavement are not discussed here.)

Suitable for Key Stage 2 and possibly KS3.
