Poems leave a lasting legacy

Poems penned by pupils from South Walney Junior School to celebrate the natural beauty of their island are now on display for the whole school to enjoy.

The work is part of the school’s Lost Words of Walney project to celebrate the unique wildlife and plants of Walney Island. Artwork from the book compiled by the children is shown next to the poems, which are based on an array of local wildlife including mussels, shelduck, ringed plover egret, royal blue butterfly Walney geranium, grey seals and protected natterjack toads.

Deputy headteacher Michelle Banks said the work is a wonderful legacy from the previous Year 6 that will help to inspire pupils with this year’s project. She thanked the Youth Offending Team and Ellen Bromley for working with them on the installation.
