Kate Williams

Hello teachers! Yes, I know it’s holiday time, but it’s also planning time, especially with National Poetry Day just round the corner. If you’re interested in booking a poetry workshop to celebrate the date – 3rd October – this is the time to get planning and booking, before dates go! There are all sorts of children’s poets to choose from, of course, each offering something different, so search, browse, and see what suits you best. Here’s what I offer:

My workshops are topic-based, and this autumn the choice is: 

Autumn Leaves, Wild Woods, Giants, Fireworks or Space (one per day).

Working with classes from Nursery to Yr 8, my sessions are lively and interactive, with stimulating, action-packed warm-ups before writing. I provide support and encouragement throughout, both whole-class and one-to-one, with a balance of guidance and scope for ‘taking off’. Rich language and imagery play a major part in my workshops, as well as rhythm and other poetic techniques, all through a fun, exciting and informal atmosphere.

See Workshops page for more details.
