Poetry in Motion

'Held every year on 21 March, World Poetry Day celebrates one of humanity’s most treasured forms of cultural and linguistic expression and identity. Practiced throughout history – in every culture and on every continent – poetry speaks to our common humanity and our shared values, transforming the simplest of poems into a powerful catalyst for dialogue and peace.' UNESCO World Poetry Day 2017

This year the LRC has been sharing poetry online via Twitter and through putting up posters around college. How will you share your love of poetry?

For those SSC students and staff who are interested, you can attend the college Poetry Club during Thursday lunchtimes from 12.40 in F11 or get involved online with @SSCEnglishLit on Twitter and southseftonenglishlit on Instagram.

Somewhere Beyond the Sea and My House in Budapest

 

This year, we got involved in the Bookmark Exchange Project  2016 as part of International School Library Month. With this year’s theme being ‘Decode your World’ we made transparent bookmarks (see image below) filled with binary computer code and handwritten messages and corner bookmarks with small detailed patterns and pictographs.

It was an exciting experience sending off our bookmarks around the world and receiving bookmarks made by students from two schools in Budapest (Hungary) and one school from Trinidad. 

Bookmarks from St. Augustine Secondary School, Trindad

Bookmarks from Berzenyi Dániel Gimnázium, Hungary

Bookmarks from Kerületi Szinyei Merse Pál Gimnázium, Hungary
