He shared lots of his poems and stories at a whole school assembly this morning and then visited each class for a workshop during the day. He read from his books and then we wrote lots of different poems using alliteration and rhyme. Some of us even tried kennings and haiku. It was great to have a buzz and excitement about poetry across the school.
