This article has been brought to you by Slough Borough Council's Senior Programme Officer for Public Health, Tim Howells, for the attention of all schools.
To celebrate National Poetry Day on 1st October, Slough Borough Council’s Libraries and Culture Service has collaborated with Slough Public Health to create a poetry journey. Six beautiful poems have been embedded into the Active Park Walks at Salt Hill Park, Kennedy Park, Upton Court Park and Upton Lea. At each stage of your walk you’ll unlock some wonderful words to inspire you on your journey.
Discover all six poems to enter a prize draw and the chance to win a pedometer or a bundle of books. We hope these works will inspire you to explore more poetry from Slough Libraries and enjoy the beauty of our green spaces, as well as keeping fit and active. The poetry journey will be available throughout October.
This is a great opportunity to teach English, to set homework and link to your curriculum for National Poetry Day, and we are encouraging schools to take a look and have some fun on our interactive park walks.
