I was delighted when Rachel Maynard, the fabulous Year 5 teacher at Woodcroft Primary School in north London, got in touch to say that her class had been working on animal poems inspired by my poem 'Little Lemur Laughing', the title piece of my second book with Bloomsbury. This poem uses repetition and alliteration to bring animals to life, and I am so excited to be able to share a selection of Year 5's fabulous poetry. I can tell that these pupils worked really hard on editing, perfecting and also decorating their poems, and I'm sure you'll agree that they should be very proud of themselves!
