World Poetry Day

World Poetry Day was created by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

‘In celebrating World Poetry Day… UNESCO recognizes the unique ability of poetry to capture the creative spirit of the human mind.’

Young children love to listen and engage in the patterns, rhythm, and rhyme that poetry presents.

On this page we have compiled all of the resources from our website (‘Little Owls-Premium’) which you may find useful when engaging your EARLY YEARS children in learning about POETRY.
