21 Merchant Taylors’ Prep School Newsletter - 14.10.2022 MTP English The Year 8 boys spent the opening weeks of the year reading and analysing modern poetry. We read narrative poems focused on the first days of a new school year; odes celebrating beloved people, places, and things; Japanese tankas closely observing shifts in nature; and animal poems written from the perspective of wild animals. Inspired by their reading, the boys then wrote original poems in the same forms. In honour of National Poetry Day on the 7th of October, they compiled all their poems into a digital collection and selected one to recite for the rest of the class. Please enjoy this brief selection of their work and ask them to share at home if they have not already! Monsters in the Classroom
