Each session, the children will respond to a creative writing challenge, many of which are based on past 11+ writing tasks.
The tasks include:

- Write a recount
- Write a speech/letter (persuasive non-fiction)

Within each lesson, the children will learn vocabulary to help with their writing, as well as how to enhance their writing through the use of devices such as figurative language, Show Don't Tell, senses and more! The children will also practise structuring sentences and varying their sentence openers.Â

This course is simply fantastic because it has been designed and delivered to the highest standards. It was delivered in a always-positive style to bring the best out of a child. My son got the exposure, to all the key creative writing techniques, required for the 11+ exams. He enthusiastically looked forward to the weekly homework feedback from his teacher, Charlotte, who tirelessly provided it every week. He really enjoyed the course throughout and is keen to build on the knowledge gained as part of this course. I would like to thank you to the teacher and the whole team!
