Well Done !!

Brilliant YoungWriter session last week with 10 children present who did incredibly well creating their own short poetry form.  After some trepidation, they soon realised they could not go wrong if following their own rules and from then on, there was no stopping them.  Turning a couple of sentances into a poem was just a case of giving them some shape so Leaves falling down rewritten as
Leaves
     Falling
          Down
suddently became a poem (well done Araaf) and they immediately realised that the sky is the limit.  It was a real joy to watch and their enthusiasm was palpable so huge congratulations to them all for embracing the subject.  The assignment was to write at least one brand new Mini-AYW poem and to come up with some suggestions for our poetry sheet.

Once again, apologies to those who struggled through the snow to get to the session the previous week only to find it cancelled.  On reflection I should have put something on the blog but it was all very last minute and I was bitterly disappointed that I'd had to take such a step; especially since, irritatingly, most of the snow had cleared by the Saturday!

I know we have had another influx of snow this weekend but I am confident next Saturday's session will go ahead as usual so I very much look forward to seeing you all there on the 24th, our final session before the Easter break,  with huge thanks to Young Writers and parents alike, for your continued support and encouragement.
