These workshops will see Shelley reading her poetry and talking with schoolchildren about the creative process of poetry. This will be followed by each child writing their very own poem centred around nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\">During the workshops, students will spend time in nature local to their school while drawing inspiration for their poems. The workshops will benefit the children involved as rhyming teaches them the sounds that words are made of.\u00a0<\/span><span>Poetry is a bridge that connects children to the relevance of writing, reading, learning, creativity, and community. It raises children&#8217;s awareness of words and grows children\u2019s vocabulary. Poems are often thought-provoking and can stimulate further discussions and learning opportunities. Writing poetry gives children freedom and allows for experimentation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The culmination of these school workshops will be the launch of Shelley&#8217;s illustrated book \u201cNature and Me\u201d. 10 poems will be selected from the workshops and children will read their poems during the launch. They will also be presented with a special framed print of their poem.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":32347,"template":"","class_list":["post-32346","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&quot;Nature and Me&quot; Children\u2019s Poetry Workshops - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Nature and Me Children\u2019s Poetry Workshops will see author Shelley Corcoran visit schools in County Longford.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/nature-and-me-childrens-poetry-workshops\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"&quot;Nature and Me&quot; Children\u2019s Poetry Workshops - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Nature and Me Children\u2019s Poetry Workshops will see author Shelley Corcoran visit schools in County Longford.
