This competition is all about making an Acrostic Poem! We know the sun has been shining bright lately and the summer holidays are almost here so what better way to end the academic year than writing an Acrostic Poem about the SUMMER!
What is an acrostic poem? An acrostic poem is when the first letter of each line spells a word. The word is the subject of the poem. It doesn’t have to rhyme, but it can if you wish! Here is an example.
