The session held at the library on 7th June went really well. We continued looking at poetry - limericks, this time - and spirits seemed high. It was nice to welcome back Phoebe - who was a member of the original group - and it was reassuring to see how easily she slipped back into Young Writer mode.
At the start of the session, I introduced everyone to our new mascot - a very special little bear bearing the group's name on her tee-shirt - and I threw out a challenge to find her a name. Something to do with either the group or writing would be suitable (and thank you, boys, for suggesting Jilly - that was very sweet) - so please help your young scribes to put on their thinking caps and come up with something original. There will be a special certificate for the winner.
The assignment was to write a poem that doesn't rhyme, just for a little more challenge, and to try and have them in for the next session on June 28th. Congratulations to Mateus and Sophia who were presented with the red certificates last session. I will be presenting a couple more of these next time so well done to everyone for working so hard. Don't forget to keep the certificates safe - if possible put them up on display, so that the Young Writers can see them and feel proud of their achievements.
As mentioned, the next session will be on 28th June - same time, same place. I should have all the letters available by then re the exhibition in October.
In the meantime, do get in touch if you have any feedback, comments or suggestions. See you soon.
