Join Children’s Librarian Kirsty for a virtual workshop dedicated to descriptive writing. We’ll look at how great writing includes vivid sensory description. We’ll learn about how to use adverbs and adjectives to bring characters and places to life.
For this workshop you’ll need paper and something to write with. We’ll do writing activities together, and share our writing with the group, then all participants will receive feedback.
The event will begin at 14h30 on 5 May. The event will be held on the virtual platform Zoom. The link to join will be sent via email. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to monitor your child’s use of the internet and connect via the link provided. Kirsty will be ready for participants by 14h20.
