National Poetry Day!
On Thursday 8th October, students and staff at DKA celebrated National Poetry Day in style! The theme for this year was 'Light'. Some students brought in their favourite poems to share and some even wrote their own poems. A competition was held by the school library to write a poem about science or light (or both!) - we will announce the winner soon and publish their poem here!
Two diligent and brave students read out poems during morning line up and this almost moved some members of staff to tears; such is the power of poetry!
Mr Nixon, the school librarian, also gave a special performance of a number of poems during year 7 lunch time. Part of the performance is below!
Photographs of the wonderful day are below!
