A Celebration in Rhyme

“All year groups really enjoyed the practical elements of the workshops and being able to discuss their favourite books, authors and characters. Children were able to recap on their knowledge of poetry and rhyming couplets as well as celebrating the joy of reading. Thank you very much!”

 

 

“The students really loved Jo’s enthusiasm and passion for poetry and really enjoyed performing the poetry, which was something we wanted them to focus on during our Book Week. She was very funny and comedic with the children and all year groups engaged well with her approach. The staff were very complimentary about her skills and presence in the workshop and have asked for her to be booked again in the future. We can’t rate her highly enough!”

 

 

 

 

 

“Chris was amazing and the feedback from all the teachers has been incredibly positive and the children got a lot out of it. I would imagine that I will be in contact again in the future to organise more workshops from you!”

“All children enjoyed the session and were engaged and included. The children enjoyed linking the poem to texts they were familiar with. The workshop leader was very engaging and the children responded well to her. We loved coming together at the end of the day to share and listen to each poem. We thoroughly enjoyed the session and the poem supported our prior learning.”

  

 

 

“Chris was absolutely incredible – the students gained so much for the workshop; albeit in sessions as short as half-an-hour. Students walked away with greater confidence and Chris really helped to create such a supportive and welcoming environment for all.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with you both, and I will definitely be in touch next year!”

“The children used their imaginations and creativity to create the poem. The sessions helped the children learn about how to create their own poem and it promoted the children’s vocabulary. All children were able to access the sessions, they were very inclusive … and they really enjoyed performing their whole school poem in assembly at the end of the day.”

“The children thoroughly enjoyed their day and particularly loved performing at the beginning and end with the whole school. The students gained further understanding of how to use their ideas to write poetry, as well as a look at performing poetry.

Some staff were surprised by how some more reluctant readers and writers in class were engaged with the poetry. It was great to be able to involve the whole school in a workshop day all the way from EYFS and bring the children together to work collaboratively.”
