‘Something Happened In Lakeside View’ is finally published!
Hi everyone, as usual simply scroll down to find the club your child attends in order to find out what we got up to this week, but the big news Something Happened In Lakeside View, the latest book the children have written together, is finally published!
Something Happened In Lakeside View is the result of over 80 children working together collaboratively to vote on a project, create a town, vote on a common theme and then all write their own stories or poems set there… We started the project last summer term and all the pieces had been submitted by January. It is now available across multiple platforms in ebook and paperback!
Here is the blurb:
Welcome to Lakeside View, a pretty little town much like any other. Or is it?
Scratch under the surface and you will find a place full of secrets and shadows.
A place full of darkness, magic, ancient curses and hidden horrors. Who would live in a town like this? Many people have come and gone and some have left behind their testimonies.
What happened in Lakeside View? Read on to find out.
This is an anthology of stories and poems written by the young people who attend creative writing clubs with Chasing Driftwood Writing Group.
Don’t forget to leave a review on your platform of choice if you do read it. And please be aware this is a creepy horror-based book that might not be suitable for those under 10 or sensitive readers.
Many thanks!
Monday
CJS Monday Club: Just a few young writers had to finish off their fables today and options for the rest of the group were various writing prompts, plus mini books, zig-zag books and comic books made up into various sizes and formats. They had great fun with this and some amazing comic book creations were started!
Tuesday:
11 Plus Zoom Group: Fables have all been finished in this group too so we had lots of writing prompts on offer, most of which were linked to fables, or stories with warnings and consequences… Some fantastic responses, well done guys!
Bransgore C of E Primary School: Again, fables are done in this group so they had the comic books, zig-zag books, and mini books with various writing prompts. One of the prompts was to create your own Bunny Vs Monkey style and this went down a treat, with examples such as ‘Teachers Vs Kids’!
Wednesday
11 Plus Zoom Group: Fables completed and so various writing prompts on offer in this group today, including:
