The blog is a collection of poems suitable for young children learning english. The headings that the poems fall under are in line with the topics to be covered in the Up and Away Programme, the guidelines laid out by the Department of Education in Ireland for teaching English as an additional language.

The poems are simple and vocabulary rich. They are accompanied by pictures of vocabulary and suitable for interactive whiteboard use. They will have worksheet and whiteboard activities to accompany them soon.

The idea for the site came about due to frustration trying to find poems simple enough for young english language learners to understand, learn and enjoy.

I've been a teacher since 1996 and have used technology in every class I've taught. I've been excited about it's uses since using the BBC Micro back in 1980 and I'm still amazed at what can be achieved using it in class.

I play guitar rather badly and sing just as horribly, I play drums much better and have been in a few bands. You'll find me in some bar on St Patrick's Day singing, wherever I end up living.
