Truly amazing session on Saturday. Thank you to everyone who came along - including our three Newbies. We were looking at writing reports and everyone was given a work sheet. Just to refresh memories - reports feature real life events which are told in a newsy style (and I forgive those members who came up with headlines such as "I Was Bitten By a Vampire" because it just goes to show how active their imaginations are). But for the actual assignment, the idea is to write about something they have experienced, seen or heard - and some of the ideas that came up included trips to museums and tricks played on April Fool's Day. Which just goes to prove that even with their fertile imaginations, most of them did grasp the difference between writing a story and writing a report.
In the crazy rush of finishing when the session ended, I completely forgot to send Maddie off on her travels and was somewhat surprised to find her and her diary still in the bag when I got home. She obviously wanted to come home with me for a change so I guess even little teddies must find too much travelling somewhat tiring! I am sure she'll be ready to go again when I bring her to the next session which is on 16th April. And - just in case you missed it, here is a list of the sessions coming up between now and summer: 7th & 21st May, 11th & 25th June, 2nd & 21st July. We will then finish up for the summer and our first day back will be 10th September. How swiftly time flies when you're having so much fun!
So see you on 16th, everyone, and keep up the good work!
