Notes

A sample of just some of the poster poems written and performed by Yrs 5 & 6 pupils from Crompton View School from Bilsthorpe, Nr Newark. Working on the theme of imagination and being a mascot at the World Cup and leading out the England team in S.Africa.
These were created in a special World Cup session with Crispin just before the England v Algeria game – on Friday 18th June at Nottingham Forest Study Support Centre . Huge thanks to Jane and Leanna at NFSSC and to the teachers.
