Kimba, through his performance poetry, taught the pupils how to use the acronym 'Shampoo' to improve their creative writing - simile, hyperbole, alliteration, metaphor, personification, onomatopoeia and oxymoron. Our First, Second and Third Year pupils thoroughly enjoyed themselves! Thank you, Kimba, for visiting KGS!
