Aimed at home-educated children aged roughly 8-14, my writing academy will be home to a series of courses covering articles, poetry, short stories & essays with the aim of bringing out the unique writing voice of each and every child.
Being able to write freely helps to nurture positive emotions, encouraging connection with our natural environment creates a love for the earth and inspiring children to discover their own unique voice increases the confidence we so need to take us forward in life.
Content for each course will be split into five weeks of study, each with a theme that will be explored through writing exercises, 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.
