Poetry by Heart: Mondays in F1 with Mrs Folan

Friday 13 September 2024

“The poems we learn when we’re young stay with us for the rest of our lives. They become embedded in our thinking, and when we bring them to mind, or to our lips, they remind us who we are as people, and the things we believe in. We call it learning by heart, and I think such learning can only make our hearts bigger and stronger.”

– Simon Armitage, Poet Laureate
