A group of Year 11 pupils enjoyed a day looking at how to write creatively and use ‘writers' tips’ to enhance and develop their writing style. The workshop took place on Friday 26^th August and, in spite of the glorious sunshine outside, the group threw themselves into the tasks and discussions enthusiastically, achieving excellent results.

The day started with a review of strategies to write effectively and developed on to look at how to use an image to write from a range of angles. The group then critically evaluated a selection of short stories from prompts and went on to complete the workshop by writing a 500 word piece from a short writing prompt.

The students all agreed it was time well spent and that they really enjoyed being given the opportunity to write for pleasure and develop their work throughout a whole day of activities.

A selection of the 500 word pieces are attached for you to enjoy.
