On Monday 11th November, Year 6 went to Central Hall Westminister for the Poetry Together event. This event was hosted by Gyles Brandreth and had a focus on bringing young and old together through poetry. We were lucky enough to meet six poets, and worked closely with Gyles and Matt Goodfellow in two workshops. Gyles taught us about short poetry, and we wrote our own poems about animals using rhymes. Did you know he has the Guinness World Record for the shortest poem?! 'Oh wet pet'.

Matt introduced us to the concept of Rebel Writing, and not being scared to use the way we talk in our poetry because it has no rules. We even got to each our lunch in the President's room! Overall, it was a very exciting and engaging day filled with rhyme, laughter and patterns.
