We were really pleased to be able to give our year 8s the opportunity to experience performance poetry ‘live’ at school from professional poet Chris Redmond on the 17^th March. Chris hosts the annual poetry event ‘Tongue Fu’ and has performed at festivals such as Glastonbury and Latitude – so we were delighted that he could host workshops for our students and let them have a go at experimenting with their own poetry. There were some fantastic results from the morning’s creative writing, which linked with the unit that year 8 are currently studying in English on poetry and ‘identity’ following the reading of the novel ‘Wonder.’ We’ve certainly got some budding poets at SWR!
