World Poetry Day KS2

This KS2 World Poetry Day PowerPoint introduces pupils to poetry in an engaging, accessible and inspiring way. The presentation explores what poetry is, the different forms it can take and why poets write. Pupils are introduced to a range of poetic features, examples from well‑known poets and opportunities to analyse, discuss and respond to poems. The PowerPoint also includes interactive tasks and a guided activity to help pupils create their own poem, encouraging creativity, vocabulary development and confident self‑expression. Ideal for English lessons, assemblies or creative literacy sessions, this resource supports pupils in developing a deeper appreciation of poetry and its place in cultures around the world.
