Here at Brain Bunny HQ, we\u2019ve finished classes for the year. As usual, our last class for the term was our feedback week. In this week students can bring in a piece of writing from home to read aloud, and get feedback on. Mary and I were very impressed with the quality of all the work brought in, and with the thoughtful feedback students gave on each other\u2019s work.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll be running afterschool classes again next year, but before that we have three one day holiday programmes coming up in January \u2013 two creative writing and one theatre sports. We\u2019re really looking forward to seeing all the creative stories and ideas that come out of them, and hope to see some familiar faces.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, if you\u2019re looking for inspiration for writing projects over the holidays, we\u2019ll be keeping this blog and our facebook page<\/a> updated with tips and ideas, along with details of any competitions or writing opportunities that come up. You might also like to have a look at the Stargazers and Trailblazers website,<\/a> written by our friend Holly the Storytailor. Holly has heaps of writing exercises and ideas for young writers wanting to get the creative juices flowing.<\/p>\n You might also like to check out Holly\u2019s other website<\/a>, where you can read all about her storytelling adventures and her latest book Hometime. In Holly\u2019s words: \u201cHometime is a collection of short stories for 9-12 year olds and anyone who has been 9-12 years old. The stories are mostly about the things kids that age get up to when they\u2019re mucking around home \u2013 especially when there is scant parental supervision.\u201d Sounds like great holiday time reading to us!<\/p>\n Happy writing!
