“My class have never been this inspired! They wrote so beautifully and happily…this is the most excited I’ve seen them. One girl who often struggles to focus wrote a gorgeous piece. I have poets and writers in my class now!”
— Teacher, Capital City Academy
"We wrote a poem in ten minutes! I thought it took like years to do poems"
— Hugo, yr 3
“So many of my class couldn't believe how 'easy' it was to create something they were so proud of! It has also really supported our critical analysis of poetry in the comprehension sessions.”
— Teacher, Lochinver House School
