Tuesday- writers

On Tuesday 10th June the writers of the ‘Banging out!’ Project, wrote a wide range of poems to describe the joys of printing and the dispute of Wapping. We wrote poems such as acrostics, haikus and Fibonacci. Here are some samples from the poems we wrote.
Use Chinese paper,
And use a wooden screw,
Germans steel cast.
Use all the components,
You’ll have something new.
By Zeshaan, Tanka

Printing began with hands
Rapid changes brought for people
If there was no printing
 No education would happen
To help you write
If it wasn’t for books we wouldn’t have an education
Now you read and write
Go and discover the beauty of printing
By Rahim

Printing is a great
Invention, inspiring
The world to succeed.
Betty.

Later that day, we all did some art work themed around William Caxton and printing. Some were difficult as there was a lot of detail to be added. “Some of them were very hard, I drew the printer, and it was really fun,” stated Farzana.
