KS2 visit to Lincoln University - Carol Anne Duffy

We were very privileged on Thursday to be able to attend Lincoln University to hear Dame Carol Anne Duffy perform (children's laureate).  We expected her to read her latest book 'Princesses' Blankets' and everyone was blown away by the performance.  She didn't just read the book she had a musician supporting her on the recorder and other 'easy' instruments'.

All the children (and staff!) were fascinated by the whole experience.  Mrs Chadwick's blog explains better than I can because I wasn't able to attend (much to my disappointment:)

I cannot add any photos to this blog BUT please visit Mrs Chadwick's blog (Class 3) to view these.
