Aimed at children aged roughly 8-14, my writing academy will be home to a series of courses covering essays, poetry, short stories & articles with the aim of giving children a broad idea of what it takes to write with a strong observational voice.
Connecting with the natural world around us helps foster positive emotions on so many levels and encouraging children to discover their own unique voice as an extension of this, is perhaps more important now than ever.
Content for each course will be split into four weeks of study, each with a theme that will be explored through writing exercises, exploration of other authors, outdoor activities and will culminate in the child's own complete piece of writing.
There will be a private Facebook Group for parents of students where work can be shared and I can provide feedback and support. There will also be a certificate presented on completion of each course.
