This October there is no set theme. You are free to write whatever inspires you.
But we'd like you to think creatively about writing.
On 16th October it is 'Everybody Writes Day'. This is a day when many schools have a day completely focused on fun writing activities. Maybe you could encourage your school to do the same. On the Everybody Writes website there are many examples of young people and schools finding new ways of writing.
Here are some ideas:
- Try writing with something other than a pen or computer. For instance try writing with paint, string, quill, cut out newspaper words, chalk......
- Try writing on something other than paper or computer. Examples could include pavement/playground chalk writing (but gain a teacher/parent's permission), fabric, tiles, toilet roll, flags.....
***Remember you can always send us a JPEG or GIF photo image of your finished writing project. Ask an adult for help if you're unsure how to do this.***
Consider that writing isn't just about creating stories and poems. It can be:
- Instructions, signs or messages
- Word art & collages
- Songs
- Films/Theatre/Radio scripts
- Jokes
- Poems, Limericks, Haiku
- Journal/Diary
- Letters
- News reports
- Reviews and lots more.......
Whatever you're inspired to write and create please share it with us by sending to bodminbookworm@aol.com .
