Anthology of Southwark Children's Poetry - edited by Michael Rosen!

[Coach Beth]

Just wanted to give a big congratulations to all the children whose poems were selected for the 2013 anthology. I know that six children from Goose Green Primary School had poems selected for the anthology and I am sure that other children from other schools in East Dulwich have had their poems selected as well. The children all get to recite their poems in front of Michael Rosen who will also be helping them at the practice session just before the evening launch. As a mum of one of the young poets, I'm very proud of course but I'm also so pleased that all children at our state schools are encouraged to take part in creative endeavours like this. There was a thread about London schools vs out of London schools and I think the opportunities that children in London schools have like this really make a difference.

It was great to see children from three Dulwich Schools - Goose Green Primary, St. Anthony's and Dulwich Hamlets at the launch of the poetry anthology of children's poetry edited by Michael Rosen on Tuesday night. All the children recited their poems beautifully and Michael Rose was ace. My boy was so excited to meet him! Great opportunity for all the children!
