Scoop - Issue 32 (Expression, Music and Poetry)

The February issue of SCOOP magazine is all about ‘expression’ and they are looking at this idea through music and poetry. As the guest editor Joseph Coehlo tells us, ‘poetry and music translate the soul’. We look at how different cultures as well as different species use music and words to express who they are and what they believe in. There is a feature about beatboxing, an orchestra made of vegetables, a profile of Fela Kuti, two wonderful short stories, all the favourite comic strips, a look at the mystery of birdsong as well as the art of haiku and some wonderful poems from readers and published poets. This issue is an invitation from SCOOP to find your voice and, as Joseph suggests, ‘maybe after reading this issue you’ll pick up a pen, clap your hands, strum an instrument or sing your words to the sky.’

SCOOP inspires and nurtures a love of reading and writing for children 7 and up. Each issue is packed full of stories, articles, games and activities all based on a unique theme that ignites curiosity.

Suitable for ages 7 and up.
