Upton In Bloom Poems From Upton Schools


The Annual Schools Eco Poetry Competition was a real challenge this year for the judges. The 18 fi nalists from the three age groups (5-7, 8-9 and 10-11) presented their poems to an audience of teachers, parents and fellow pupils, in Yarrells’ library this November. The talented students pictured below were whittled down from an entry of over 350 children from Upton Infants, Upton Junior and Yarrells Schools.

This year’s theme was Trees. The children were free to interpret this in any way they wished, and decorate their work with colourful illustrations. Points were awarded principally for the quality of the poem, and also on the decoration of the work and the spoken interpretation. Book tokens were presented to the winners, along with certifi cates for all fi nalists by Upton in Bloom, who initiated and organised the competition – not only to encourage young people to think about their environment, but also to express themselves in verse.
