Christian Foley visits Dunottar School (again)!

20th January 25

Christian Foley is an incredibly talented rapper, writer and teacher in the UK, inspiring people to chase their dreams in many unique styles.

In the second week back, Year 10 were delighted enough to have Christian give us workshop about Power and Conflict poems that we had studied. He gave us some incredible remixes of poems that we had studied and really helped the students be able to think creatively about these poems. Furthermore, we got the chance to write our own remixes of poems we had studied, which was a brilliant way for students to showcase their inner rapper to him and their friends.

In my opinion, I think this was an enlightening opportunity and gave me more confidence in my writing and presenting skills. I also got to see friends and colleagues display their way of seeing the poems. Christian has a brilliant way of getting people to understand English in a way that suits them, and I think many people should look up to him and his talents. I and many students hope that he returns to deliver the workshop to future Year 10s as it really helped.

In terms of education, his way of seeing poems allowed us to comfortably memorise quotes which is significantly important for all of English and plenty of other subjects (which is why this workshop was so good).

Everyone from Dunottar School thanks Christian for the visit and hopes to see him again soon!
