Autumn 2023 writing workshops
This writing workshop aims to help prepare children taking independent school exams in Autumn/Winter 2023/24. It will help them to practise their writing in a small group setting and with individual support.
What we will do
We will not sit and write solidly for 2 hours! There will be a number of tasks including looking at a range of exam ‘starters’; brainstorming via practical ‘stations’ to find great vocabulary; and short, timed tasks to practise key skills. The aim is that the workshop will also cover:
- ideas and strategies to impress
- common errors
- tips for proof-reading
- exam timing and pace
- personalised feedback
The practical details for the writing workshop
- 23-27 October (dates tbc, please register interest with availability)
- Ripley church room, GU23
- 2 hours, £40 total including resources
- Maximum 6 children per group. Early booking advised.
- This workshop is exclusively for children sitting an independent school entrance exam this academic year.
