and a tree by Kate Wakeling
Update: 2022-12-09
Description
Kate Wakeling's new poem ‘and a tree’ was commissioned as part of The Poetry Society's annual Look North More Often programme and celebrates the 2022 Trafalgar Square Christmas tree. This is the 75th tree given to London from Oslo as thanks for keeping their king safe during World War Two, and is the 15th poem commissioned to celebrate this annual gift. In this podcast, 'and a tree' is performed by Treymaine Lemar Anderson, Caeculus Baker and Milena Madeiros Tabert, three Year 6 children from Soho Parish Primary School in Westminster. You can read the poem online now, and it is also displayed at the base of the tree in Trafalgar Square until 6 January 2023. You can also find a plethora of free festive KS2 teaching resources and poems written by primary school children in response to 'and a tree' on our website at bit.ly/lnmo. Happy holidays from everyone at The Poetry Society!
