Today we celebrated National Poetry Day (1st Oct) ...I know you're thinking: What? Poetry? Who even cares?!....But don't be too hasty. Of course as educators, we encourage children to be engaged in all aspects of learning and particularly literary aspects. We naturally, champion extensive and varied reading and we encourage choosing from a wide range of available genres. I genuinely believe that the more widely you read, the more you learn, on any given topic, then the more you extend your vocabulary, which is reflected in your writing. This in turn allows for successful and creative writing and of course essentially allowing for good communication skills. So today we were in for an absolute treat as we welcomed award-winning Poet, Musician, Lyricist, and Hip-Hop Artist, Karl Nova onto the campus.

Join me in The Greenhouse as I (excitedly!) share the joy of this eventful, enjoyable and informative day.
