Lumb Bank Writing Workshop
Year 5/6 had a full days writing workshop at the Arvon Foundation Writing Houses at Lumb Bank. They were split into two groups and had sessions from tow published authors. These were:
Kim Moore https://www.arvon.org/tutors/kim-moore/ and Elmi Ali https://www.arvon.org/tutors/elmi-ali/
Both are very experienced creative writing tutors, working with a range of participants of all ages. They planned an environmental/nature theme for the day.
The children absolutely loved the experience, particularly the free writing, and most were confident enough to share their work.
Some feedback from the children:
‘I enjoyed every little bit about this day.'
‘The day was good, the tutors were really nice.'
'I enjoyed the free writing.'
'I loved the inspirational writing.'
'I enjoyed working with professional writers.'
'I enjoyed it when we did free writing.'
'I would love to do this again!'
