Cardiff City striker Isaac Vassell joined the Cardiff City FC Foundation, the official charity of Cardiff City Football Club, as they paid a visit to Maerdy Community Primary School to celebrate National Poetry Day. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

National Poetry Day, the UK-wide celebration of poetry, takes place every year with a new theme, which this year \u2013 the 25th<\/sup> anniversary \u2013 is Truth.<\/p>\n

Pupils from Year 6 were inspired by Isaac, using their creative writing skills to come up with their own, unique pieces of poetry surrounding how important truth and trust can be on a football pitch, before showing the confidence to stand up and read their creations in front of their classmates.<\/p>\n

The lesson aimed to improve children\u2019s confidence in reading and writing, whilst also helping them to articulate and develop their confidence in oracy skills.<\/p>\n

National Poetry Day generates an explosion of activity nationwide, celebrating poetry\u2019s power to bring people together and inspiring children to explore their imaginative minds.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, Vassell said: \u201cIt\u2019s so important that primary school children develop their reading and writing skills. Moving forward in their lives, they need to be confident in being able to speak and write their ideas down. I\u2019m glad that I can help.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The visit was organised as part of the Premier League Primary Stars project, a project that provides opportunities for pupils and teachers to further develop themselves.<\/p>\n

The Bluebirds Charity recently celebrated 10 years of changing lives, during which time it has invested over \u00a310 million in sport and education programmes across South Wales.<\/p>\n
