Favourite part of today’s #InclusiveLibraries was listening to @connor_allen92 perform his poetry live, poetry is always so much better when you can hear it out loud, particularly as a home grown Newport girl getting to hear it in a familiar accent, which is rare 🥰 #poetry #poet
"Harry Potter got his letter from Hogwarts, I’m still searching for my letter. This kid just wanted to fit in, just wanted to belong The way Harry did once he got that letter." 👏 A powerful performance from award winning poet @connor_allen92 at today's #InclusiveLibraries

📚Taith i Ŵyl y Gelli - Hay Festival Trip📚 What a treat our pupils had to end their half term today! They loved everything that the Hay Festival had on offer, including some superb sessions with Connor Allen, former Children's Laureate, and award winning author Liz Hyder.

Diolch to @connor_allen92 for his engaging workshop with Year 6 this week. He used his Blank Canvas poem to inspire the children to write their own poetry. @sapsyear6
