Thank you to Stoke Reads and Kreative Foundations, who led a creative writing workshop with a group of Year 7 & 8 students from the Academy on Monday 21st November. With a range of tools and activities, the students developed their writing skills; learned that no idea is to odd to be useful and realised that sometimes the ideas we want to throw into the bin can lead to the most interesting stories! 

The Academy students will use their new skills to develop a creative writing competition for Year 5 and 6 children from across the city. Alongside developing a theme and designing all of the promotional materials, the group will deliver workshops to support the younger children with their ideas and with practical writing tips. They are really looking forward to the next stage of development in December – and to announcing the competition in January.
