Apologies to anyone trying not to think about food for the first few weeks of term. That’s the theme for National Poetry Day, which has just been brought forward from October 14 to October 7. The change was made too late for our 2004 assembly planner, free with Teacher magazine today. But to keep up with further plans for the day, subscribe to the Poetry Society’s e-bulletin by emailing: npd@poetrysociety.org.uk.
