Each term, principal David McKenzie sets a challenge which children can choose to complete at home. Mr McKenzie said it was the third time the pupils had written poems for a book. Edendale School pupils Hewitt McKenzie (left) and Thomas Clark, both 5, listen as principal David McKenzie reads them a poem from an anthology of pupils’ work that has recently been published. It also gave the pupils experience of the process involved in writing and publishing. "This is reading, it's writing and it's art work all in one with a lot of fun for our school."
