Description
Web icon An illustration of a computer application window Wayback Machine Texts icon An illustration of an open book. The book is divided into sections of short, medium and long poems, which means it could adapted to many classes and also to the school day and time constraints. The poems are all different lengths which is good as they can be selected in regards to the time you have within the classroom.
Meet Billy McBone and the Mad Professor's Daughter, be amazed by the Longest Kiss Contest, shed a tear for the Boy Without a Name and - if you're a stressed teacher - sing the Mrs Butler Blues.
Ahlberg suggests music to set the songs to and that ‘Heard it in the Playground’ could be performed as a class.
Heard it in the playground is a wonderful collection of poems, based on the setting of a primary school.I think that this book could be used in a variety of different ways within a classroom to familiarise children with poetry. Another poetry book by Allan Ahlberg that I remember reading at school and really enjoying was ‘Please Mrs Butler’, this is a book I will read again.
