A Holiday Workshop for the Budding Writer

- Primary 1 children will start small and focus on introducing themselves using various types of words and utilising multiple perspectives.
- Primary 2 children will work on short poems and use fine details to describe scenes.
- Those in Primary 3s will explore their senses in order to create more vibrant characters and figure out how to write under pressure – which is extremely vital for written exams.
