Schools Poetry Slam Final
A hardworking group of S1s recently took part in the Schools Poetry Slam final, part of the Aye Write! festival's schools programme. After 8 hours in school, learning how to write poetry, with the help of comedian Viv Gee, the poets travelled to the Mitchell Library to compete against 5 other Glasgow schools.
The final saw two individual poets and one group perform in front of a large audience in the Mitchell Theatre. Our individual poets were Laura Middleton with a poem called Bullies, and Robyn Taylor, with a spooky rhyme called The Heart Shaped Necklace. The group poets were Shanice McCann, Kayleigh Ferns, Jodie Loughlin and Stevi Stuksis. They performed a poem called Bruises.
A special mention goes to Christina Lamont, who received a certificate for Outstanding Achievement throughout the programme.
All of the performers, supporters, teachers and librarian had a great afternoon.
