Year 5 - Nathan Parker visit

Date: 6th May 2025 @ 2:09pm

We were thrilled to welcome local poet and author Nathan Parker to our school, where he shared his inspiring journey into writing with the children. Hailing from Blackpool, Nathan spoke passionately about how his love for poetry began at a young age, sparked by his surroundings and a desire to tell stories. He captivated the students with tales of how Blackpool, with its vibrant culture and seaside atmosphere, influences much of his work. Nathan didn’t just talk about poetry—he worked closely with the children to create their own poem, encouraging them to use their imaginations and express their unique voices. The students loved the hands-on experience, and their faces lit up as their ideas came together into something truly special. Nathan’s visit was a wonderful reminder of the power of creativity, and he left the children with the message to keep writing and never stop dreaming—no matter where their own creative journeys take them.
