Valerie Bloom

What a day!! Thank you to everyone who came to #CLiPPA23 today. For the performances, for the poems, for the kind words and the brilliant, brilliant support for poetry. So proud of the @clpe1 team and so grateful. Thank You.

@TheWritingWeb @RufusWilliam @poetrybyheart Lovely to see that! Thank you.

@RufusWilliam Not a course, but the @poetrybyheart resources pack a serious punch. 🙌🏾 The appreciation and recital of poems celebrates the power of language. Here's the poetry map I created to support me when I learned to recite Valerie Bloom's 'Time' by heart. 🧡👇🏾 poetrybyheart.org.uk

It's all happening @The_Globe Monday 26 June as @poetrybyheart celebrates ten years of the competition and a record breaking number of entries. Congratulations to all this year's finalists! #poetry booksforkeeps.co.uk/50166-2/

🧵It's #WorldPoetryDay, and as the National Poetry Centre for Primary Schools, we have tons of poetry resources, as well as the latest research findings from our #TheBigAmazingPoetryProject survey, which show the importance of poetry for children: ow.ly/2Ijz50NhGO5

@AlyxP1 @clpe1 Such an absolute and genuine pleasure to work in partnership with you @EarlyTrain and @PoetryVal on this. The survey tells us what’s needed, now to work together on putting it into practice!

Children are enjoying the new Poet-tree display in the downstairs library. A numbered envelope, spin the Wheel of fortune and read the poem in the envelope with the number you land on. Poems by contemporary/classic poets, different forms, funny, sad etc. @moses_brian @jonnybid

@madaboutbooks @moses_brian @jonnybid What a lovely idea! Thanks for sharing.

Today, @clpe1 and @MacmillanKidsUK launch The Big Amazing Poetry Project in response to findings from recent research into #poetry teaching and learning in primary schools. booksforkeeps.co.uk/clpe-and-macmi…

It is so great to be part of #TheBigAmazingPoetryProject with @CLPE1 and @macmillankidsuk, and the findings show just how important poetry is for children. Read the results of the survey here:  ow.ly/zAOH50NhEPp
