Magic Potion Poetry
Eurig Salisbury, Wales’ Childrens’ Poet, came to Bryn Tawe to visit a crew of 25 pupils in Year 7 on Thursday 3 May.
He came to create a poem with us and told us a story. The story was about a witch called Ceridwen. Ceridwen was a nasty witch who had a stupid son. She didn’t like having a stupid son so she looked for help in a magic book. Ceridwen boiled a magic potion in a large cauldron in order to help her son.
After the reading of the story, the class and Eurig constructed a poem in the format of a recipe for the magic potion. Everyone contributed their various ideas. The recipe was excellent and everyone really enjoyed. Thank you Eurig for an afternoon of fun.
