Still some slots left for my Remembrance Day online sessions for primary schools/yr 7s in the week leading up to November 11th. Sessions are based around the book 'What Are We Fighting For?' All the details here: brian-moses.blogspot.com/2023/10/what...
New blog post: Five of my favourite children’s poems plus where to fine them/listen to them. Hopefully good for @PoetryDayUK and for schools tackling poetry units of study throughout the year. brian-moses.blogspot.com
If any primary school teachers have units on performance poetry, why not book an online session with someone who has 35 years experience of performing poetry in schools. Lots of advice to children plus examples plenty of poems: Take a look at my showreel: youtube.com/watch?v=qxSXy2…
