Well the Summer is almost over and teachers will be thinking about going back to work. Already planning a few lessons, probably. I hope you will be thinking about some poetry orientated lessons for National Poetry Day, which is coming up on Thursday 5th October. If you need a little help, there are some FREE LESSON PLANS and other resources for National Poetry Day on the NPD website: https://nationalpoetryday.co.uk/resources/
The theme this year is REFUGE, which is a great one for our current times. There are some poems on that theme on the NPD website here: https://nationalpoetryday.co.uk/poems/
I still have some availability that week, if you want me to come to your school to perform and run workshops, but please contact me soon to avoid disappointment.
