On Monday afternoon, 11th November, the poet Steven Murray visited the school to run a Poetry Slam and workshop. Lots of laughter was heard in the hall!

On Monday afternoon, 11th November, Stephen Murray, Director of Youth Speaks, wowed our students with his linguistic virtuosity. Admirably, he negotiated the whole school in a poetry workshop. This was not a task for the faint hearted, yet he managed it painlessly. The pictures only manage to capture an element of the excitement created through this Poetry Slam.  (Click on blog title to see more photos.)

However uncertain of what the ordeal was about to start, I can say honestly that I thoroughly enjoyed Arts Week. A variety of workshops were held, which were intriguing and fun, but one stood out from the rest. My personal favourite was the workshop we had with 'Slam Poet' Steven Murray, alhtough the week as a whole was a great experience to have participated in.
