Guinness World Record x National Poetry Day
Turn your students aged 7-12 (Y3-Y7/P4-P7) into Guinness World Record-breaking poets this National Poetry Day!
This autumn, we're collaborating with poet Laura Mucha to co-write a poem about ‘what counts’ with 60,000+ students AND break a Guinness World Record AND display the poem all over the country. (Last year, she co-wrote one with 16,500 children.) Sign-up below to register for our live poetry workshop on National Poetry Day, 3 October 2024.
We'll also be doing this in collaboration with the National Literacy Trust, The Poetry Society, The Poetry Archive, and the Centre For Literacy in Primary Education.
Full details and teaching resources will be circulated to participating schools in early September. Schools need a minimum of 50 participating students to take part.
Taking part will have a long-term impact on young people’s literacy and confidence and turn them into Guinness World Record Breakers, as well as letting the world know what they think matters.
