My First Poem 2022
Poetry Competition
Nursery & Preschool
My First Poem is a fun and engaging way to introduce poetry to them...
Help your children write their very own first poem using our fun, easy 'All About Me' template!
It's a lovely way to build literacy and creative skills, plus the activity supports the Ealy Years Foundation Stage literacy requirements too!
If you haven't got a printer, don't panic! You're welcome to help them write out their poem and send us a photo instead! Or you can complete the editable PDF and email it back to us - the entry form is suitable for both options.
