National Poetry Day 2025 at Latymer Prep

It was a pleasure to visit Latymer Prep this morning for a poetry-packed assembly, Q&A and book signing, followed by some quick-fire poem-cooking sessions with the year 6 classes. Lots of enthusiasm and hands in the air meant they came up with these collaborative class poems at super speed when we were short on time. Impressive!

Many thanks to their wonderful librarian for inviting me and organising the event. If you’d like to make your own very own bald eagle or pig, read on below for the recipes!*
