Overview

These hugely popular workshops are always very much in demand. We recommend you book early. They are suitable for writers of all abilities and they are always lively, engaging sessions. Creative writing is an important part of entrance exams, so this class helps develop the skills needed for 7+, 8+, 11+ exams; however, the focus is on inspiring creative minds rather than timed intensive exam preparation.

Equally popular with boys and girls, the sessions enable children to meet others from a wide range of schools and gain confidence in a group environment; often returning again and again as each workshop is different with new and exciting themes. Our aim is to unlock the box of each child’s creativity and help them find the confidence to think differently, so that writing becomes a life skill rather than just a means of passing exams.

Holiday Workshops

Creative Writing

Fulham and Putney

Writing is similar to the opening of a chess game: the pieces must be put in place at the start. The key to successful stories and descriptions lies in structure and planning. Both of these are at the heart of what we do in Creative Writing. Equally popular with boys and girls, each workshop is different and offers new and exciting themes.

We are always thrilled to see children returning again and again, making excellent progress at these hugely popular, fun and educational workshops.

By producing a piece of writing each day and getting live feedback whilst still fresh, the children can immediately celebrate their successes and focus on how to improve their work. Writing pieces will include: story writing, descriptive writing, persuasive writing and diary writing. The groups are small and age-appropriate allowing children to build an understanding of how to write stories based on our ‘Six Secrets for Success’.

The children will learn how to structure each piece of writing along with learning what linguistic features to include in their writing to bring these pieces to life, such as powerful imagery, similes, metaphors and many others.

We focus on what is required by schools at the various age levels, but we also want to engender a sense of daily achievement and enjoyment.

We know the talent is there for all children; we just help to open the box.

Arts and Crafts

Fulham

With the ever-increasing obsession with screens and technology, today’s children seem to have missed out on some of the wonderful crafts that we did in our own childhood.

Have they ever made a pompom, weaved a basket, made a pop stick box?

These exciting and imaginative skills help creativity and fine motor skills in children, while also enabling them to wind down and relax in a mindful manner.

Sign up to our hands-on, inspiring Yellowbird art and craft workshops; fill your child’s creative mind in an afternoon of chilled, artistic fun.
