A visit by staff from Seven Stories, The National Centre for Children’s Books, proved a big hit with Y7 students as we kick off World Book Day Week.
Laura and Bob led inspiring and engaging lessons where our students took a ‘Journey’ through a wordless book by Aaron Becker. They decided what was going to happen at the turn of each page and created many different stories all using the same picture book. Improvisation was the theme of the day and the interaction by staff and students was inspiring, to say the least!!
The last Creative Writing session gave students an insight as to how authors begin the process of writing their books. Jotting down ideas on any old piece of paper and then writing that all important first sentence to hook readers and ensure they read on!! Their imagination knew no bounds as ideas leapt out onto paper and began to take shape.
A great day all round!!
