KS3 explore nature writing!

  
Exploring nature writing with author Yarrow Townsend. 

On Thursday 20th a handful of our  year 8 and 9 pupils got to meet author Yarrow Townsend to discuss her new book and to take part in a creative writing workshop. 

The pupils had an hour session sat in the sunshine on blankets, reading extracts from her book, discussing the types of birds seen in the city and then writing what about what they think it would be like to be a bird going on a journey, as well as creating maps birds might take for future story writing. 

It was a great session, where pupils interacted and engaged with nature, encouraging imagination and supporting their creative writing skills. Thank You Yarrow!
