Today, Year 6 took part in their first GDS Writing workshop with the theme of the ‘Victorian gothic’. We read some extracts, “magpie-d” some great phrases that left the reader feeling perplexed and unsettled and then began to explore what curious object we may pick to centre our writing around. As a first draft, the children have written some wonderful short stories and I can’t wait to re-draft and continue with them! Have a read!
