We were delighted to have welcomed author Ian MacDonald into school this week to run exciting creative writing workshops with Years 4 and 5.
Year 5 worked with Ian on The Mummy’s Finger, while Year 4 explored the spooky fun of Eyeball Soup. Inspired by these stories, the children each wrote four chapters of their own imaginative tales, following a similar storyline.
They then brought their work to life by creating and binding their very own books, complete with front covers.
This experience tied in beautifully with the central idea and PYP lines of inquiry the children are exploring this term, giving them the chance to deepen their understanding while developing their skills as authors.
