Poets Visit Mount Carmel

The children in the Junior Department were visited by two Manchester-based poets called Louise and Zena.  The poets spent the morning with the year 5 children, where they performed some poetry, created their own poems using the 'swag bag' and even wrote their own poems inspired by 'a child's right to play'.  In the afternoon, Louise performed some poems for the whole school and the KS2 children were given the opportunity to ask her some questions.  Over the next few weeks, the poets will be working closely with Mrs Green to help raise the profile of poetry at Mount Carmel and we look forward to welcoming Louise and Zena back to school in a couple of weeks.
