Thanks Nicola Davies for our fantastic writing workshops today. The children were so inspired! Thanks so much for the gifts of books for our library too. Hope to see you soon! 😀👏📚✒️👍

‘All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,’ 👇

Love it. Especially the ‘much older man’ 🥹You are so creative to combine Shakespeare and the outdoors! Did you share with children that The Globe has no roof! At least, not the cheap seats…

It's #WalesOutdoorLearningWeek , so we took our #ShakespeareDay work outdoors! Children worked in groups to create stills showing the Seven Ages of Man from Jacques' speech in As You Like It. What fun! @PembsOutdoorSch Leah Crawford Bob Cox #coastlandspoets Eco-Schools Wales

Seven Ages 👋 resource by Leah Crawford

This is absolutely brilliant and surely takes the plaudits for Shakespeare’s birthday! 👇

What wonderful work - year 5/6 teachers - this is the very stuff of great English teaching.

Dosbarth Draig had a blast this morning on #ShakespeareDay , writing their own versions of Jacques' Seven Ages of Man speech for the 2020s! Here's a fab example from Neanna & Autumn. Thanks Leah Crawford for the great #OpeningDoors ideas. Bob Cox #coastlandspoets Pie Corbett

TeachingLive is online - first session of the term - celebrating your location. Sam from Coastlands School wrote this, working with poem by George Mckay Brown:

Our #coastlandspoets loved our poetry challenge from Pie Corbett, from a Joe Carrick-Varty poem. 'Can you find your galaxy on Google?' 'Does your air have its own religion?' 'What is your shadow's email?' Such fun, playing with words, images and ideas! Attaching the prompt too.

Some terrific ideas from this poetry prompt. Always pushing to surprise the reader - to run shy of the cliche - to push hard to find the fresh vision. This would work with any age group from year 5 onwards.

Tremendous poem by Neanna, riffing on a poem by Joe Carrick-Varty

Dosbarth Draig enjoyed their latest poetry challenge from Pie Corbett, prompted by a poem by Joe Carrick-Varty. Some tweaking needed next week, but here's a great start from Neanna - along with the original poem. #coastlandspoets Bob Cox Brian Moses Sue Hardy-Dawson💙
