“Every child is a natural born writer”

Welcome to the Spark of Brilliance poetry book. All of the poems featured in this volume are the top 30 finalists from our first poetry competition, and were composed by Surrey primary school children in Years 5 and 6.

The children wrote poems on the themes Space, Autumn, My Family, My Pet, My School and My Favourite Place. It was extremely hard to pick a winner. Look inside to see who we chose!
