Off By Heart Poetry Competition 2025
OFF BY HEART POETRY COMPETITION
We are delighted to be able to launch the St. Lawrence CofE Primary School
Off By Heart Poetry Competition 2025!
We are asking that the children have a go at learning one of the following poems for our Off By Heart Poetry Competition. The children will be asked to recite their poems in class and the two winning entries from each year group will go through to the Grand Final to be held on World Book Day, Tuesday 25th February 2025 in the school hall. We are hoping this is going to be great fun for the children and prizes will be on offer for all those who have a go! The children are welcome to dramatise their performances if they wish but there's no expectation to do so. We look forward to learning these poems with you and to our final Poetry Recital where there will be extra prizes on offer and three independent judges to make the tough decisions. All the poems are now available below so please encourage the children to pick one and to get learning! These are the same poems as last year so we hope you will find one that your would like to learn that you didn't learn last year. Thank you!
