I’ve noticed how excited he is to share what he wrote!

Year 5 Parent - London

She now feels much more confident when writing at school and has expanded her vocabulary, with 'suave' and 'reminiscing' being her favourite new words.

I appreciate the analogy of learning as a “to do” list.

I read her essay afterwards it was impressive and I thought she has improved a lot since taking your class. Thank you!

Your passion for creative writing has rubbed off on my daughter and she learned a lot from your workshop. Thank you so much Clare!

My daughter loved writing her story and learnt to craft her story (beginning to end) in a structured and thoughtful way.

Parent

She liked the tiger picture to give her an idea where to start and because it was an interesting idea. She says her writing is more fun and easier now that she knows where her stories are going. She learned to have a plan which she has used again. She's also learned that it’s ok (and actually even good) to cross things out in her stories. Encouraged to edit. Given lots of positive encouragement and feedback.
