All of the poems in issue 3 are also available as free poem-posters to download, print and display. There are also free, downloadable teaching resources around the poems ‘Colour Mixing’ by Louise Crosby, ‘Harvest of Haiku’ by Karla Wendelin, and ‘Red Bridge’ by Marie Papier. Each resource offers ways to get to know the poem, talking points around poetic techniques, and an individual writing activity.
