St. Pat’s Poets

The senior students of St. Patrick’s NS had the pleasure of participating in a poetry workshop with Lucinda Jacob, author of the childrens’ poetry book, Hopscotch in the Sky. The children had prepared for the visit by illustrating some of their favourite lines and images they visualised when reading her work.

During the workshop we listenened to Lucinda read some of her poems, talked about inspiration, questioned methods and wrote both collaborative and individual poems. The children really enjoyed the experience and the teachers were treated to a few insider’s tips into the poetry genre. We would love to see Lucinda back in the school again.
