Writing the 7 Senses - Creative Writing for Children at Manor House Library

Want the kids to have something creative for this May half-term? Have them join local author & photographer Amelia B. Kyazze for a fun creative writing workshop, using her methodology Writing the 7 Senses.

With music, photography, observation of nature and humour, we create a free and creative space that allows children to improve their skills and exercise their imagination. With an emphasis on inclusion and diversity, we explore different perspectives, character building, creating suspense, and writing about different cultures and settings around the world as well as across London. For children especially, this helps to build skills, empathy and self-confidence. And it's a lot of fun!

From an 8-year old participant:

“My pencil was free to fly all over the page!”

From a 10-year old participant:

“5/5 stars!”
