This week, we had the pleasure of working with Simone Yasmin in a poetry workshop. Simone has worked with a range of well-known organisations including Green Peace, The British Literacy Trust and British Libraries. Simone talked us through some examples of figurative language (Metaphors, Similes, Personification) in poetry and we even had a go at writing our own poems. This was a fantastic opportunity to apply our learning from our writing unit on Meanwood Valley. Special shout out to Izzy, Ellie, Zara and Ebony for their imaginative works and ‘magpieing’!
