To commemorate United Nations’ World Poetry Day on 21st March, English Literature students in 6ème, 5ème and 4ème have written and animated poems based on the themes they have explored this year. 6ème have focused on life in the animal kingdom, writing poetry about the relationship between humans and animals; 5ème have explored the Gothic genre, producing poems which are inspired by all things mysterious and macabre; 4ème have written about power and the ways it permeates our lives, through humanity, nature, democracy and language.

Here are just a few of the poems written by these students.
