The new poetry workshop, aimed at KS2 pupils, are in line with the Primary school English curriculum.
Tailored towards pupils from years five and six, the workshop will encourage those taking part to work in groups to create a poem about a chocolate machine.
The aim of the workshop is to support the curriculum by developing the student’s understanding, whilst also encouraging an enjoyment of stories and poetry.
During the interactive workshop, which is suitable for up to 60 children, pupils will work together to gain a greater understanding of different forms of poetry and will be given the opportunity to read a poem out loud.
Diane Mitchell, marketing manager at Cadbury World, said: “Our poetry workshop, held in one of our dedicated education rooms, will not only provide an opportunity to advance children’s understanding of the genre but will also help them to develop their social skills as they participate in a group learning environment.”
