Creative Writing Club

Creative Writing Club is having a mini-makeover. It will remain as bright and beautiful as before, but with a little nip and tuck.

As of 4th May, the format will change slightly. For the first 15-20 minutes, children will be invited* to take part in a group activity, with Natasha leading the way. Each week will have a theme – sometimes this will be linked to a specific day or event, others may appear more random!

For the rest of the session, the group may choose to continue with the suggested theme, or go off on a tangent.

We will trial the new format for three months, to give it  a fair chance. Hopefully the children (and parents) will welcome the change.

The sessions will continue to be a drop-in, with no need to book. We suggest age 6+. Parents do not stay, although you are welcome to chill out in the cafe corner. Juice and biscuits will still be provided and drawing will, as always, be highly encouraged.

*If any child wishes to do their own thing from the beginning, that’s absolutely fine.
