On Tuesday 26th March, we welcomed Nathan Parker, a local writer, back to Broughton High to deliver an assembly to all of Year 10. It was a privilege to hear of Nathan’s own journey into writing and hear him perform some of his own work. This was followed by a Q and A session with some interesting questions posed – some of which Nathan had never been asked before!
We were also luckily enough to have Nathan delivering some workshops, with a focus on poetry. The workshops included exploring the ingredients of poetry and culminated in a poetry collaboration, with an example below. Year 10 were an absolute credit: a brilliant day, enjoyed by all!
Thank you very much, Nathan!
Time
Here we go again,
Screen time to high.
Our mental battery low,
It’s about to die.
Can’t escape the media,
Don’t know why.
Selling me things,
I don’t need to buy.
Can’t live up to expectations,
It’s making me shy.
Apply another filter,
But it’s just another lie.
Try to enter reality,
Access denied.
Whatever happened to people,
Upon which we relied?
Mrs Armstrong
