Yesterday in Year 3/4, we had an amazing writing workshop with visiting author Adam Bushnell.
Each Year 3/4 class had approximately an hour’s creative writing all about Ancient Greek myths. The workshop was held via Zoom, which is proving to be effective in engaging our children.
Adam Bushnell was a primary school teacher and is now a published author of both fiction and academia. He works as a ‘visiting author’ in the UK and internationally delivering writing workshops and staff training. He is the author of fifteen books of children’s fiction including and he has recorded audio versions of some of these books. His first novel, ‘Quests in Epica’ was released in the summer of 2016 and was illustrated by multi award winning illustrator Ross Collins.
He has written The Kings of Ancient Greece – a great book for the children to read all about classic Greek myths.
Some feedback from 3/4 children:
“I loved it! He was really fun and full of facts. I wrote my own Greek myth too!”
“He made me want to write my best myth.”
“He brought the Ancient Greeks to life – almost!”
Thank you to Adam who inspired our children at Scholes.
Ask your child about the virtual visit so they can share their experiences with you.
