Creative Writing Programme
Our creative writing classes are designed to inspire young writers, ignite their imaginations, and empower them to express themselves through the written word. We aim to cultivate your child’s love for storytelling through a variety of engaging activities and projects, while also honing their literacy skills and fostering their creativity.
Our approach is wide and varied, but just to give you an idea, we have listed two below:
- Writing Prompts: We provide a variety of writing prompts to spark creativity and inspire new ideas. Prompts can range from simple sentence starters to more elaborate story prompts based on themes or images.
- Storytelling Games: We use storytelling games and exercises to help children develop characters, plotlines, and settings. These games make writing fun and interactive while also teaching essential storytelling techniques.
How Our Programme Can Help Your Child
Developing Literacy Skills
Creative writing provides children with the opportunity to practice reading, writing, spelling, and grammar in a fun and meaningful context. As they craft their own stories and poems, they'll naturally improve their literacy skills and develop a deeper understanding of language.
Enhancing Critical Thinking Skills
Writing involves making choices about plot, character development, setting, and more, which requires critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Our classes encourage children to think deeply about their writing choices and consider different perspectives.
Creativity & Imagination
Writing allows children to explore new worlds, create memorable characters, and dream up fantastical adventures. Our classes provide a supportive environment where children are encouraged to let their imaginations run wild and express their unique voices.
Encouraging Self-Expression
Writing is a form of self-expression, allowing children to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Our classes provide a platform for children to share their stories and be heard, fostering a sense of validation and empowerment.
Building Confidence
Sharing their writing with others can be a powerful confidence booster for children. Through peer feedback sessions and opportunities to showcase their work, we help children build confidence in their writing abilities and develop a sense of pride in their creations.
Resilience & Perseverance
We encourage our children to embrace the iterative nature of writing, understanding that their first draft is just the beginning of the journey toward a polished piece of work. Through feedback, revision, and edits, children learn to overcome obstacles and setbacks, developing resilience in the face of challenges.
Overall, our creative writing classes provide a fun, supportive, and enriching environment where your child can explore their creativity, develop their writing skills, and discover the joy of storytelling. We’re passionate about nurturing the next generation of writers and storytellers, and we’d love to have your child join us on this literary adventure!
