School Holiday Program
|
Primary Students:
Tuesday June 30th 10.00 - 12.00 Dinosaurs Perhaps your child has a dinosaur and can share their hints on how to raise one. Perhaps, they are a palaeontologist - and have found some very special bones. Or maybe, they're going back to prehistoric times, when dinosaurs roamed the earth! Sounds like a very dangerous session. 
Thursday July 2nd
10.00-12.00 The Wind Where is it blowing from and what secrets is it hiding? It might be something wonderful … or it might not. |
Holiday programs are for FUN. Its holidays after all!
We play some word games, sometimes as simple as writing as many words for a particular letter as we can in 2 minutes. It helps expands their vocabulary. Other days we find as many words within a word. I read a short blurb about our topic for the day, the ask them questions that help develop a story. We all write for 20-30minutes, including me. Finally, we all share our stories, and I praise their efforts bu finding something positive to say. COST: One session - $25 2 sessions - $45 3 sessions - $65 4 sessions - $80 If your child does one session, enjoys it and wants more, I simply adjust your price.

Brighton Grammar visit:
"Leeanne ran a very focused and customised workshop for our classes of Year 9 boys. She covered character and setting in ways that were very accessible and the boys produced some excellent work. I really liked the way she included all the students and didn’t let anyone hide in the corners."

I wrote my first play in Grade 5, which was performed in front of the entire school. I started writing my first novel in Year 8. Getting published was my dream. Now my name is on the front cover of seven different books. Do you want to write?
