Farringtons School pupils

Using poetry to support literacy and language development with Mr Coulthard and pupils

In this episode we’re getting into poetry in a great way. We’re going to hear from Mr Ben Coulthard in the English department about why poetry is important in school but, importantly, we’re also going to hear from five of the pupils, Jasmine, Zoe-Leigh, Eme, Keira and Isla, to understand from them how it genuinely makes them feel and why they feel it’s important.

But then we’re in for a real treat as each of our students read out a selected poem to us, live on the podcast, so that that we can hear the poems and hear what each person thinks of their chosen poem.

It’s a great episode and I think you’re going to love it. So come with me as we step into poetry with five pupils from school and Mr Ben Coulthard.
