Summary

Early in the autumn term we were excited to welcome Andy Tooze, the children’s “Poet from the Peaks”, for two days of poetry workshops. Each class enjoyed a dynamic, interactive session with Andy, including speaking, listening, reading, writing and drama. Andy read some of his poems and modelled ideas about their stimulus, form and content. Importantly, he inspired the children with his enthusiasm and sense of fun. We enjoyed a great celebration assembly with parents at the end of his visit, where children shared some of their creations. Thank you, Andy for the valuable boost you gave us in our writing, and for helping to enable us all to write some fun poetry.

Vice principal Tim Roach said: “Poetry Week is one of the highlights of the busy autumn term, and everyone’s excited about the visit of Andy and Martin.Remember what Andy Tooze said, he started off with a little notebook and wrote about things that interested him. He worked hard coming up with different poems before sharing them with his friends and family (remember if you like it at the end give it a clap!) finally he wrote his own book full of them.
