The Wellington Primaries delved into the world of poetry with Author and Poet, Paul Cookson. Paul spoke to pupils about the importance of why he acts out and speaks aloud his poetry.
Paul amazed the pupils with his witty and rib-tickling poetry with all pupils and staff partaking in the movements and singing along with the words.
Both Wellington Lions and Wellington Eagles pupils were treated with exciting workshops, where Paul shared his journey into poetry. Paul’s poetry has been displayed by Everton Football Club for one of their matches, as well as being good friends with Don Powell, famous Drummer and writing three albums with him and his best friend Les.
Jake Bailey, Headteacher for Wellington Lions Primary Academy commented “Poetry is a fun way for pupils to express themselves and having Paul come in was a great treat for the pupils. Having read through each of the classes’ poems, we hope to make a book with them all. Pupils had commented on how much fun Paul’s assembly and workshop was and expressed how sad they were for their workshops to finish.”
