Swinging

Today the #poemoftheweek is from Let Me Touch the Sky, one of the titles now available to purchase on the site. A humorous reminder that getting what we want doesn’t always turn out well!

Autumn Gilt

It’s perhaps a bit early in the year for our next #poemoftheweek, “Autumn Gilt” (from the collection Let Me Touch the Sky), but we hope you enjoy listening anyway! There’ll be some activities for schools using this poem in an upcoming Scheme of Work freebie, so keep an eye out for that!
