Quote from the 2006 winning school
“The children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in ‘Pound a Poem’. It was fun giving fruit and vegetables a voice which really stretched the children’s imagination. Winning was a huge surprise and a great delight to everyone in the school.
We are pleased to support the charity ‘Rays of Sunshine’ this year who work so hard to grant the wishes of children who are living with serious or life-threatening illnesses. Thank you “Pound a Poem” for all your hard work.’
Mrs Smart: Headmistress of the winning school in 2006 – Manor Lodge School
