Today a Poetry by Heart competition was held at Blackburn Library for Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 children from schools around Blackburn and Darwen. We are so proud of all of the children who performed. The competition was tough with children reciting poems like professionals! From each year group a winner was chosen by a panel of 4 judges and we are so pleased to announce that Richelle from Year 5 came first in her year group! She was fantastic. Well done to all of the children who took part. Big thanks to Mrs Burton who arranged the event from Children’s University and Mrs Rey who worked hard with the children behind the scenes.

Blackburn Library's Poetry by Heart Triumph!
