Our Work with National Poetry Day and Dalmain Primary School
Thu 6 Oct
A group of talented pupils at Dalmain Primary School have been working with poet Francesca Beard, to write a series of powerful poems all about clean air, nature and the climate emergency. Linking to National Poetry Day’s theme of ‘The Environment’ the pupils wrote poems of praise and protest about this theme and the results were really impressive, check them out below! You also need to keep your eyes peeled when you’re out and about, as these are going to be printed on billboards across Lewisham at the end of October.

We’re excited to share key people and moments that really sum up the borough’s people power.
