Form 2’s Big Write

On Friday, ten talented writers from Forms 2-4 enjoyed taking part in a LendMeYourLiteracy event called The Big Write at The Royal Hall in Harrogate. During the morning, the children heard from the guest speaker, author David Mark, who inspired us all to unlock our imaginations. A tour of The Royal Hall helped the children to understand the place which was to become an exciting story setting, rich with history and texture of all kinds. Word workshops followed until the children wrote their own stories to explain how various objects had made their way into the giant lost property box which was found suddenly under the stage. The children’s work has been entered into a ‘Big Write’ story competition, and all entries, including stories written at home and sent in by school, will be published at www.lendmeyourliteracy.com. Parents and children can register on the website for free to read the stories. It was an exciting morning; the workshop leaders commented on our children’s superb concentration and their determination to produce excellent work. Well done everyone – you made your teachers feel very proud.
