Poetry, neurodivergent voices and outdoor learning
In 2021, Wiggle Wonderland came to Honnilands Primary School in Enfield, North London, in collaboration with DYSPLA, a neurodivergent-led arts organisation and studio. Supported by Arts Council England, the project formed part of DYSPLA’s Words Not Walls street gallery initiative in Enfield.
The pavilion showcased large-scale poetry created by neurodivergent pupils during workshops led by Lennie from DYSPLA. It then became an outdoor classroom, where English lessons throughout the term focused on poetry. The pupils went on to perform their work for their peers and families. Teachers reported that the children’s focus improved in their new outdoor classroom!
