#SJKBirchClass had a wonderful morning as they took part in a Windrush poetry workshop. The children were inspired to write their own beautiful poems celebrating the Windrush generation. 🌿 #SJKEnglish

Oak class worked with poet @simoneyasminnn today to consider how it must have felt to have travelled so far and experience so much when migrating to a new country. A lovely addition to our Windrush topic where we could also show off what we have learnt #SJKhistory #SJKenglish

Had a lovely time delivering protest poetry workshops for young people in Bramley last week! Thanks to @webelonghereuk, @BARCALeeds & to our local councillors for coming along! #protest #poetry #spokenword
✍️ Fantastic to join young people at the poetry club in Bramley today - which we funded as local Labour Councillors.
The young people performed poems about our society and were so impressive in our discussions about discrimination and fairness. The future of Bramley is bright!
