Children’s Writing Clubs W/C 13th January

Making weekly writing books and responding to prompts!

Monday

Monday CJS Club: Great to be back with the CJS Monday club after the Christmas break. We kicked off by making our new weekly writing books. I was really impressed with this group as they did not have a session last week which meant making the books AND responding to our first prompt, what would you do, where would you go if you were invisible? These guys did so well and we had a wonderful response to the prompt with a mixture of stories, creative non-fiction and even poetry! Here are some pictures of the books they’ve made to write in this term.

Tuesday

Tuesday 11 Plus Zoom Group: Today we discussed the benefits of using writing tools such as pen and paper over screens, and then responded to another choice of writing prompts. These prompts can be responded to any way they like whether it’s non-fiction or fiction, poetry or short story. The prompts for Zoom groups this week were:

If today was a colour what colour would it be and why?

What would you do if you knew there would be no consequence?

What is something that you will never understand?

Write about a song that is linked to a special memory

Bransgore C of E Primary: Lovely to be back with these guys today! They also enjoyed making their new writing books and responding to the invisibility prompt! Here are some pictures of their books.

Wednesday

Wednesday 11 Plus Zoom Group: We also had a discussion about writing tools and the benefits of handwriting, then responded to our next set of prompts! Great work from all!

Wednesday 8-11 Zoom Group: Another discussion about writing tools and the cognitive benefits of using pen and paper, followed by more wonderful responses to the prompts.

CJS Wednesday Club: These guys made their writing books last week so today we could get stuck into our first writing prompt! What would you do, and where would you go if you were invisible? What an impressive response from everyone! Mostly poems, which was lovely, but also some stories on the go. Fantastic!

Thursday

Burton C of E Primary: This group also made their writing books last week so today we could fully focus on our first prompt about the power of invisibility. We had a lovely mix of poems about invisibility, stories, non-fiction and comic strips! Lovely work from everyone, well done!
