Hi everyone. I have just spent a very enjoyable (and infuriating) couple of hours putting the poetry leaflet together. It is looking quite good already and one more sheet of short poems should just about do it so watch this space!
It is hard to believe that after this week's session, there will only be two sessions left for me. The Chatterbooks group will be relaunched in September so the members could have quite a long break this year; which will give them all the more time to write, write, write. Don't forget that, even after I have moved on, you and our young pensmiths can still keep in touch. I will probably launch a different blog once I leave because it is still my dream to bring Creative Writing to more children, even if I can only do so online. Anyway, we shall see. Let me get the move out of the way first. Hopefully by 2019, I will be in a better position!
In keeping with the Stories theme, I will be reminding the Young Writers this week of the need of a good opening as well as a good ending and also how best to use description to help the story move along.
Don't forget that after this Saturday there will be a three week gap because of personal commitments and that the session on 26th May will be our Picnic in the Park session (weather permitting of course), so don't forget to bring along your drinks and snacks; I will provide the outdoors work sheets and pens etc.
My final session will be on 2nd June and I will bring along some celebratory cakes that day and special certificates for all the members as well as the completed poetry leaflets so it will be a busy old morning.
In the meantime I look forward to seeing you all this Saturday, May 5th. Bye for now.
