Just watched the Teachers TV 'Writing About Artefacts' featuring ss Great
Britain's new Education pack.

As Master Poet on this project I really enjoyed my original sessions working
with Ashton Gate on the SS Great Britain and back at school to produce the
materials for the SS Great Britain Creative Curator Pack. Seeing Jackie (the
teacher featured in the video) using the materials with such confidence and
so well and the responses from the children in riddles, acrostics and tanka
poems has really made my day.
The programme itself is I feel well put together. The pack is a real credit
to the Education Team at ss Great Britain - this section just being one part
of a large and rather wonderful larger pack covering many aspects of the
national curriculum and more.
I look forward to working with other museums and schools in exploring new
ways of interpretation and interaction with artefacts through poetry and art
including new approaches to labelling.
All that's best,
