Magical Words

2007 saw a change in direction for the annual ‘poetry in performance’ held at Haverstock School in February. Pupils from the six primary schools that make up linccs went it alone to celebrate their ‘Magical Words’. Also participating in the event, were guest poets from St. Paul’s Primary School.
Children’s writer and poet, Michael Rosen, presented special awards to Samsul Ullah from Richard Cobden and Saoirse Anderson from Primrose Hill.
As in previous years nearly 800 pupils from Carlton, Holy Trinity & St.Silas, Primrose Hill, Rhyl, Richard Cobden and St.Michael’s took part in the competition and worked hard to find a creative voice and form to express their ideas and feelings. The winning poems clearly demonstrate the magic and power of poetry.
