A Year of Nature Poems by Joseph Coelho

4.0

A lovely selection of nature poems, one for each month of the year. I love the illustrations that accompany each poem, showing beautiful images of the relevant nature. The poems are quite complex with quite a few difficult and potentially unknown words for upper KS2 children, however, I think pre-teaching these words or asking children to identify unknown words and finding definitions to expand their vocabulary will be a beneficial activity. Each poem begins with a small paragraph to describe the theme of the poem and why it is relevant in relation to nature. A nice addition to a year 5 or 6 classroom.
