Guest Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) Hi folks I've been looking at a recent post about poems about outdoor play but I can't quite find what I am looking for there ... My request is a little similar so please bear with me For my research project, I am focusing on investigating the adult's ability to influence children's access to 'risky play' outdoors. Can anyone lead me to a poem that describes children having adventures or maybe facing challenges? Many thanks for this Edited March 2, 2010 by pickle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi pickle This is an interesting research project. I'm intrigued though - what are you going to use the poem for? Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi pickle This is an interesting research project. I'm intrigued though - what are you going to use the poem for? Maz Hmmm - probably just trying to be clever and tutor will say it isn't necessary but ..... I was thinking of starting off with it at the very beginning - as something to 'prepare the ground' so to speak? No idea if it would work as haven't mentioned it to my tutor - not that she's much b***** use anyway!! So what d'you reckon then?? You've bailed me a few times in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) Hi pickle This is an interesting research project. I'm intrigued though - what are you going to use the poem for? Maz Chose this topic as I work as an LSA in the Foundation class of Primary school where the lists of do's and don't's for outside play are endless Have to say I am really loving the research I'm discovering and I'm finding it to be a great choice for a project! But I am doing it alongside a module on Leadership and Management which I have to say (with great feeling) is NOT going half as well !!

AnonyMouse_8466 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 So what d'you reckon then?? You've bailed me a few times in the past I've often started assignments with a 'killer' quote that really sets the tone for the assignment - but never thought of using a poem. It depends what you're going to use - but I wonder whether it will add to the academic rigour of your report? Will be very interested to hear what others think - and what your tutor thinks, too!

Maz Hi Maz Just to get back to you - my tutor said it was a good idea to use a poem, but suggested it should be appropriate to the formal tone of the research project. So my rude limerick is probably unsuitable then Now just need to find a good one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 So my rude limerick is probably unsuitable then Are you 100% sold on a poem though? Perhaps you could find a nice quote (or bit of dialogue) from a classic children's book (I'm thinking along the lines of Alice in Wonderland, Pooh or something like that. I'm not a great poet - but good luck in finding something! Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
