Some lovely snaps from last night's ceremony at Trafalgar Square! Many thanks to all who attended - we hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did. 🎄

I’ve had a number of people asking to see the whole poem, as there have only been snippets on radio and tv, so here it is, without its light box glory. If you are very, very bored this afternoon, I’m scheduled to be on BBC London at 3.10pm, for an interview.

Think the parents are more impressed than the kids, that Alice Bhandhukravi interviewed their children! The kids are most impressed by the gooey treats they’re getting!

These children are going to be fabulous! @poetrysociety.org.uk

The kids did a brilliant job on radio today. You can listen to them speak about the experience here - go to 1.55 in catch-up. Judith from @poetrysociety.org.uk speaks about the history of Trafalgar Tree poem, too.

I believe it’s good to stretch avid readers, but it’s even more important to ensure that ALL children leave school as readers. Every adult should have fond memories of books they discovered at school.
