POETRY EMOTION PB

50 original poems to spark an imaginative approach to topical values

'Poetry Emotion' contains a treasure trove of original poems to stimulate a child's observation and deep thinking; to affirm individuality and a sense of belonging; to express a myriad of feelings; and to develop meaningful skills for living.

The 50 poems are organised under 12 value-based topics, providing an ideal vehicle to address social and emotional values at Key Stage 2. They can be used with great effect in Collective Worship, and readily related to English, PSHCE, SEAL and RE in the classroom.

The poems in each section are offered with introductory suggestions for ways in which the topics can be unpacked. Topics include:

-Whose world?
-Who am I?
-Who is my neighbour?
-What's so special about the Bible?
-It's not fair!
-Getting on and falling out
-Going for goals
-New beginnings
-Saying no to bullying
-Good to be me
-Changes
-Self awareness
-Managing feelings
-Motivation
-Social skills

Ideal for KS2 / P4-7 Collective Worship and SEAL

'Poetry speaks in as many voices as there are people to read it, conveying everything from complex ideas to simple truths. The wonderful thing about Stewart Henderson's kind of writing is that he always manages to cover both at once.'
