English - Creative Writing: Year 5 Taster Session

This taster session in creative writing is designed for Year 5 pupils and takes place at Cornwallis Academy. The workshop encourages students to find their authentic writing voice and to use their imagination to discover the magic of fantasy stories. It offers a friendly introduction to creative writing where young writers can explore ideas in a supportive setting.

Participants will be invited to experiment with imaginative concepts and to begin shaping scenes and characters that feel original to them. The session aims to help pupils notice what makes their writing distinct and to build confidence in putting stories on the page. Emphasis is on playful exploration of fantasy elements and on developing personal expression rather than on formal assessment.

Ideal for budding storytellers who are curious about creative writing, this Year 5 taster gives pupils a chance to sample workshop-style activities and see how they enjoy creating their own fiction. The session is a gentle, inspiring way to start discovering storytelling techniques and the joy of writing fantasy.
