NATIONAL POETRY DAY Thursday 8 October 2015
Poems about LIGHT
INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL ORDER FORM FOR POEM CARDS
This year marks the 21st birthday of National Poetry Day in Scotland. Central to the celebrations are the Scottish Poetry Library’s popular poem cards, featuring poetry in English, Scots, Gaelic and Polish. The theme for 2015 is ‘Light’, in honour of the UN International Year of Light. A selection of 8 poems have been specially selected to reflect this theme.Our poem card designs this year are particularly creative – you can get a sneak preview at http://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/connect/national-poetry-day. Additional online learning resources will be available from Friday 12 June.
We hope that you will choose to celebrate National Poetry Day with us this year and look forward to receiving your order. Please complete and return the order form overleaf by Friday 28 August.
HOW MANY POEM CARDS CAN I ORDER?
Each bundle contains 80 poem cards (same as in 2014). You can order up to 12 bundles:
· PRIMARY BUNDLES: these contain 20 copies each of 4 cards for younger readers, P3-7 and/or
· SECONDARY BUNDLES: these contain 10 copies each of 4 cards for younger readers
