TALENTED writers worked with an author to brush up on their poetry skills.

Year 6 pupils at Freshwaters Primary Academy, in Harlow, took part in a writing workshop with author Neal Zetter, writer of Here Come the Superheroes

Jo Mullane, senior lead practitioner, said: “Pupils spent the day role playing and creating poetry around a theme, using Neal’s books and poetry pattern as a stimulus.

“Children were able to experiment with their vocabulary and rhythm in poetry to create poems which they then performed.”

The author will return in the spring to work with Year 3 and 4 writers.
