Poetry Day

Special Poetry Day Visit from Paul Delaney

To celebrate National Poetry Day, we invited the well-known local poet, Paul Delaney to The Grange Academy. We had a fantastic day creating poetry during the masterclass sessions in the library and we enjoyed listening to Paul as he read to us some of his hilarious poems. Paul, who is critically acclaimed and celebrated for his children’s books, such as ‘My favourite Trainers’ visits schools and promotes poetry and literature to students. The day was a complete success and was enjoyed by all students involved. Students wrote their own poems inspired from Paul’s work. Some students even won free signed books for producing amazing Poetry that impressed Paul and Mrs Higgins. Paul sent us a beautiful card after his visit, thanking us all for our enthusiasm and brilliant work. Paul said he was treated like a V.I.P and had a memorable day. Thank you Paul, we did too!
