Poets
in School "In the many years
of welcoming performers into school for Book Weeks - this has been the
very best." "Many thanks for
the wonderful performances & workshops you did last week. The children
have not stopped talking about you and we're all still humming the songs.
We will certainly book you again.." "We were delighted
to have so much pupil participation. We thought you had great skill
in exciting and involving them and then calming them all down again.
The time flew." "The poetry day
was fantastic and both the teachers and the children learned a lot and
had much fun!" "Everyone thought
communication skills were excellent - the ideas for developing poetry
writing first-class and the interaction with the children also first-class…I
hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!" "The use of dressing-up
clothes and masks in the performances held the children's attention
and the simple format of the workshops allowed us all to achieve…We
have used your ideas. Poetry is all round the school and one class used
the stimulus as the basis for an assembly. Thank you for coming!" "Two poets came
to Coldean School. "Thank you once again for a brilliant day at our school. The staff are constantly coming up to me and asking if we can have you back again!! The impression you left is one of joy, and you both deserve every credit for it." Neil Sears, Deputy Headteacher, Meadowgate School. Wisbech, Cambs. "Geraldine and
James entranced the whole school with their wonderful delivery. Sessions
full of laughter, enjoyment and learning." "Your lively performance
gives poetry a new dimension." "Communication
with the children was age-appropriate, clear and demanding of attention.
Wonderful props.The children were enthused and 'extended' in their respective
activities. Excellent pace and progression. They learnt a lot! An excellent
day of fun and learning." "Even the least
able felt included in the workshops. It inspired the whole school and
the work produced was displayed and appreciated by everyone." "You made poetry
fun, but emphasised that there is a serious side. An excellent day for
staff and children, who were all totally enthralled." "Many thanks to you both for a really super day. It was just the tonic we needed post SATs and reports!" John Grenfell, Head Teacher, Newick CE Primary School, Newick, East Sussex. "Just a quick
letter to say a big THANK-YOU for your performance. My children really
enjoyed themselves and were singing your songs afterwards. They wanted
to say thank-you, but are a little young to write letters. They decided
to draw you some pictures of their favourite bits!! I hope you can tell
what the pictures are, most of them you can!!"
