Children in Year 6 and 7 took part in special creative writing sessions with award-winning author, Stuart Reid today.
The Gorgeous George writer delivered an interactive creative workshop to the class and worked with students on the foundations of story writing, such as plot, settings, character development, genres and story starter strategy.
The children really engaged with the visit in an amazing way. They’ve had smiles on their faces during the workshop and a creative sparkle in their eyes. Everyone’s been asking questions and it’s been great to see every single child taking part. It’s been an absolute delight having Mr Reid in to work with our children and we can’t wait to see how they put his creative writing tips to use.”
Mr Reid was very complimentary about the interest and efforts of the pupils he worked with, he said: “It was an absolute pleasure to work with the pupils at St Patrick’s Eskra. The session was great fun, and the energy, contribution and laughter from the pupils was fabulous. Also, the teachers were wonderfully supportive… and I hope they enjoyed themselves too. Students also had the opportunity to take part with Q&A with the author and to buy signed copies of the writer’s books.
Stuart was highly entertaining and inspirational and the children are looking forward to putting his hints and tips into action.
