Poets in Schools
“The poet gave us self-confidence to perform and creativity to write a better poem. Now I think poetry is exciting! You can structure a poem in many different ways and I like that! You can put word patterns, rhymes, repetition, onomatopoeia, similes and metaphors.” – KS2 student from Beatrix Potter Primary School, October 2019
“Students were incredibly engaged, with one student commenting ‘‘that’s made me want to be a poet that has’’ at the end of the session.” – Rachel Hockey, Librarian, Chorlton High School, December 2018
Inviting a poet into your school supports teaching of both reading and writing. It is exciting for pupils and teachers and encourages pupils to write and to see writing as worthwhile.
