On Wednesday 11th March, we hosted over 70 pupils from local primary schools for our annual creative writing workshop. The pupils were able to hear about story writing from established playwright, Mike Carter. They spent time talking about their favourite authors and were very impressed to hear that Mike had even met Roald Dahl. The pupils explored techniques for developing their ideas. They focused on writing from personal experience and how to draw on different emotions as well as discussing trigger points within a story. Every pupil was involved in writing their own story and several had the chance to perform readings of their stories. Thank you to the Sixth Form students who helped out with the session.
An exploration of Ancient Greece
From the very first day to the last, we found ourselves entirely submerged in both modern and ancient Greek culture, from participating in a couple of chaotic dances to being taught (and quizzed) on different objects we hunted for in the museums.
