We had excerpts read to us
of some beginnings, some middles and some cliffhanger endings of the poems and
stories they had crafted with the support and guidance of a professional artist
for whom class teacher Adrienne Amos had nothing but the highest of praise. We even had one of the stories that Heather had been
inspired to write, along with others, for the Radio Two 500-word story
competition.
Their work was displayed across the whole of the assembly hall for all children in the school to see, a fantastic model for others to follow. Three whole afternoons of writing were not enough, said one youngster shyly and the young man in the wheelchair threw up his arms with joy when he had read his contribution out to the audience. The clay head used by James to inspire the budding writers worked its magic once again. (Sally Bavage)
