Apparently we have a young poet in our midst!  Simon, together with a lot of other children from his school, took part in a competition earlier in the year to write a poem for a new local poetry book.  As they don’t expect 6 year olds to be able to come up with technical masterpieces, they asked them to write a specific type of poem called an Acrostic, which is basically a few lines where the first letter of each line spells a word, when read vertically.

Simon has been selected as one of those to be published:

Moon

Moon goes around Earth

Orbits the Earth

On the moon there are craters

Now the moon is gone.
