Poems from Pupils at Our Ladys Preparatory Selected to Be Published in Reqional ‘My First Poem’ Anthology

Crowthorne were delighted when fourteen of the children had their poems

selected to be published in the regional ‘My First Poem’ anthology. Pupils had

to complete “Me and My Family Poem” by including details such as the names

of their best friends and their favourite meal.  Taking part in the competition

allowed the children to use their imagination, energy and creativity, and

seeing their first poem published will be equally rewarding.

Children: Libby Nemeth, Miles Brooks, Holly Fowler, Charlie Roberts, Sam

Procter, Alex McGarry, Aiden Harvey, Rebecca Stokes, Monica d’Espagnac,

William Forster, Alliaume Chouteau, Henry Billyard and Eowyn Elliott

(all pictured) and Maddy O’Leary were delighted when they were

informed that their poems had been selected for publication.

Miss Philomena Doran, the Early Years Teacher at Our Lady’s said “The

children really enjoyed completing their poems, so to have so many of them

published is hugely rewarding.”

My First Poem, part of Forward Press Ltd run this nation-wide competition

annually, encouraging children to explore their imagination and helps

introduce them to poetry and rhyme.
