Creative Writing – Writing for a younger audience

 

Over lock-down Year 6 missed their Year R reading partners so much! Now back at school, they have decided to write and illustrate their own stories inspired by Barney Saltzberg’s book, ‘Beautiful Oops!’

 

Year 6 pupils began by making a bit of a mess (or oops) on a page. These mistakes were the inspiration for scenes and characters in their stories and were transformed with colour pencils and fine-line pen. The Oops included tearing holes in paper and splashing, dribbling, flicking ink onto their pages – OOPS! Year 6 had great fun doing this outside!

Characters were then woven through the pages of the books and child friendly text added to create wonderful story books for our Year R friends. We hope they enjoy reading them.
