Big Arts Week Ð 2004
The aim of Big Arts Week, organised by Time Bank and the Forward Arts Foundation, is to ask the nation's most inspiring artists, from every creative discipline, to volunteer their time and share their skills to inspire local children in primary and secondary schools throughout the country.
Jacqueline went to Alderton Infant School, Loughton and spent time reading and writing poems with children across the age groups.
"The children... were very enthusiastic to try out their skills and make up their own poems. The staff have also benefited from watching the way a poet works and were grateful for the discussion about the children's poetry they had with Jacqueline." Penny Douglass, Art Coordinator
