ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Strong writing requires both imagination and skill.
The Core Skills & Creative Writing Club is designed to help children develop the language, techniques and confidence needed to bring their ideas to life on the page. Each term explores a different writing genre, allowing pupils to experience new styles of writing whilst continually developing their core skills.
In the Autumn term, children will immerse themselves in the world of haunting stories. They will learn how authors create suspense, build atmosphere and engage readers through carefully chosen language and powerful storytelling techniques.
Throughout the term, pupils strengthen their vocabulary, improve sentence construction, develop narrative structure and learn how to create compelling characters, settings and plots. Lessons combine explicit teaching, discussion, creative challenges and independent writing opportunities, helping children develop both technical accuracy and creative confidence.
By the end of the term, pupils will have produced their own polished haunting story and developed a deeper understanding of the techniques used by successful authors.
