Young Writers Workshop

A few weeks ago a small team of Year 3 and 4 students were chosen to work alongside Gail Ingram in the Young Writers Workshop.  This workshop was held over 2 days and their writing focus was on developing their poetry skills. These children beavered away over the two days creating, drafting and re-crafting their wonderful imaginative ideas.

Pictured here are Luca, Hannah, Joey, Harry, Evie, Mikko, Millie, Zena, AJ and Rosie working with Gail. Here is a small sample of some of their awesome poems.

Scribble world  

I see ABSOLUTELY nothing

but arguments. The colours

are screaming and shouting.

Purple yells, “Why am I even here?”

Blue answers, “Because

Joey scribbled you!”

Brown screams, “Stop arguing or

you’ll get rubbed out.”

Mad Dad

My dad is very mad,

he’s a beast all the time,

he doesn’t even pat the cats!

he doesn’t let me do a thing,

he has no respect,

agh help! my dad’s tickling me

to death.

Poseidon’s Realm.

Poseidon’s Realm   

under the sea,

it’s 12:00 midday.

It feels happy and cozy,

yet it is

under the sea.

He hugs and smiles,

rolls his eyes,

and gives his son

a call. His wife Nythia,

a water nymph,

smiles at her husband.

In Poseidon’s realm,

you can feel the water

moving, the sea creatures

bob in and out,

in and out,

in and out,

the marble

columns are sea-green

like Poseidon’s eyes.

It’s exactly the right

temperature.

Nothing to

fear, it’s all

HERE!!
