The BBC wants primary school pupils to engage with learning and
reciting poetry. Every primary school in the UK can enter a child aged
7 – 11 to compete for the title of UK Poetry Recital Champion, and the
chance to represent their school and region in what will be a fantastic
BBC competition, shown on BBC TV in spring 2009.  More details can be found on the BBC website.
