I trawl through the mentions of GCSE Natural History on Twitter each month to see what people are saying and whether there is any news that is relevant. Back in June there was a mention of poetry, and I have now posted the first Natural History poem on the blog.
This tweet was from David Cooper, who writes about Place. Good to hear poetry being mentioned.
‘Poetry is hope in action’ (Clare Shaw): spent yesterday in & around @bristolmuseum discussing the new GCSE in Natural History & the need for young people to learn to love - a word that was used repeatedly & without apology - through culture & creativity as well as fact. pic.twitter.com/26yRJHkqBH

I hope that teachers show a deal of creativity when it comes to creating their own school-specific resources.
Poetry is one way to achieve this.
