Barbreck Writers’ Club, 2022

16 December 2022

The aim of our Writers’ Club is to build on the wonderful teaching and learning that happens in class as we support our girls to become confident and independent writers.

Each week, we focus on refining and extending the students’ writing skills as they compose texts and use a variety of language features and literary devices to engage their audience. The Writers’ Club is the perfect opportunity for the Years 5 & 6 girls to celebrate being authors and explore creative ways of writing. The tasks vary each week, and the students always amaze us with their abilities to generate and organise ideas, and work with productivity, effort, and motivation as they produce engaging writing pieces. At the conclusion of each Writers’ Club session, there are always opportunities to share and celebrate their successes.

For the students who attend Writers’ Club, the main highlights are how they can have fun while learning and collaborating with others. The students have shared how they really enjoy being given a topic to write about using their own unique style and voice.

Studying Dreamtime Stories and creating collaborative pieces in a small group were some of the tasks they enjoyed the most.
