Performance poet Adisa entertained Maltings Academy pupils with verses from his Lip Hopping With The Fundi-Fu collection.

The energetic guest held workshops with Years 7, 8 and 9 at the Spinks Lane school in Witham when he visited last week.

His unique style of rap-like style of performing poetry had students listening intently and taking the opportunity to fill in the gaps with rhyming words.

English teacher Emma Heath said: “It’s so nice to be able to get our students really involved in poetry like this.

“We have run some further sessions in class to follow on from Adisa’s workshops.

“The students have so enjoyed their time with Adisa.”
