Poet Visit to the Prep School

On Tuesday, Year 4 were very lucky to have a special visitor to help us with our English. Terry Caffrey is poet in residence at the National Football Museum, Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, National Coal Mining Museum in Wakefield and Citadel Theatre in St Helens. He was commissioned to write by the Roald Dahl Foundation and had the lyrics to one of his songs chosen to be one of the official children’s songs for the 2012 Olympics. Terry has won many awards over the years and receives excellent feedback from his events. He showed us how to get creative with words, not to mention how much fun you can have with them! The children wrote some fantastic short poems all about things they were able to hear. Thank you to Terry for a very memorable day!
