Poet Rachel Rooney
Following Rachel Rooney's poetry workshop on Tuesday 12th November and the delivery of her anthology 'A Kid in my Class', she has very kindly contacted us to share her thoughts of her visit:
"I visit many schools but my session with Chickerell was one of the more memorable ones. As soon as I entered I felt welcomed into an environment that was relaxed yet focused and ready to embrace the possibilities that poetry can bring. The pupils were engaged and engaging throughout, and brimming with original ideas. All credit to the class staff who have clearly worked hard to create a classroom atmosphere that made me want to be a child again. I know my 'Kids' are safe in their hands... Brava!"
WOW! Wonderful feedback. Thank you to the children in Years 5 and 6 who took part. We are very proud of you.
