Poetry in Biology - Year 10

The whole process of learning the adaptation of the animals we chose and putting them in a poem was a really great experience. Year 10 had two lessons with Sara Holbrook and Michael Salinger. The first one was in Biology and was mainly to write a “If I were a…..” poem. This is when we made a poem about our animal adaptation using the research and a poster each of us made about the animals. To start us off we wrote a poem with the poets called “If I were a pyramid”. They made it  a very enjoyable learning experience. Our second lesson was about public speaking where they brought us out of our comfort zone. We laughed a lot as they used many funny examples which helped us learn about different ways to speak to an audience.
Many thanks to Sara Holbrook and Michael Salinger for teaching us these useful skills. I hope you enjoy the poems and animal posters  you are about to read. There are all located in our Gallery.
