This week our P5\u20137 pupils braved the rain for a special outdoor Wild Writing<\/em> lesson. Even though the weather was wet, we wrapped up, headed outside, and explored the playground with a writer\u2019s eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The children were challenged to look closely at the world around them – trees swaying in the wind, flowers dotted with raindrops, moss, seagulls, even the vans parked nearby! Armed with their senses, they gathered ideas and observations about size, shape, colour, sound, texture, and movement. Since it was too soggy to write outside, we used photos and memory notes back in class to capture our discoveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once indoors, pupils turned their notes into descriptive writing. They experimented with similes, metaphors, adjectives, and figurative language to bring their chosen object to life. Some pieces were playful and imaginative, while others were rich in detail, capturing the sights and sounds of a rainy day in our school grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lesson was all about showing that inspiration for writing can be found anywhere – even on a wet and windy day in the playground! Pupils also reflected on their writing by giving each other feedback and identifying what they did well and what they could improve on next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re so proud of the creative effort shown by everyone – and even the rain couldn\u2019t dampen our imagination. \ud83c\udf27\u2728\ud83c\udf3f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
