Fieldtrips
Fieldtrips with primary school children (first to sixth class) take place each weekday morning, 10am-12noon.
Working together, encouraged and helped by Fighting Words tutors, the class writes an original story which they see being projected up onto a big screen in the Fighting Words centre as they write.
The children decide on the characters and plot and go through the story together sentence by sentence, editing as they go. An artist is illustrating the story as it is being written.
Each child has the opportunity to write their own individual ending to the story. Throughout the fieldtrip, tutors work with the children to encourage them and assist them as required. Their work is bound and each child receive an illustrated copy of the book they write to take home. The book is personalized with a photo of the student included on the back of their book (the About the Author page).
The sessions will be limited to one full class of up to 30 children.
