‘We were quarantined; we were anxious; we learned new<br />
routines; we were resilient, we were strong…<br />
We are King Edward VI School.’<br />
This anthology was created to complement our Virtual Sports Day, which took<br />
place on 15 July 2020. The task of writing a poem provided our wonderful<br />
students with an opportunity to express themselves, to regain a sense of<br />
community, and to feel connected during a period of separation.<br />
