What in the World?
Years 5 - 6
Three Week workshop
In this program students will write news reports of invented traditions celebrated at their own creatively imagined towns. They will be inspired by traditions from far-flung places around the world to create stories, monologues, celebrating town festivities and interviewing imagined residents after a small town incident. Students will develop descriptive writing skills, characterisation and setting creation. Students have the opportunity to write in a news modality, while exercising their creativity and imagination.

Cuddly Beach
Good evening, this is Interested Ivy coming from Sky news. I have just got off my plane and landed in a beautiful town called Cuddly Beach and I can see lots of clear blue water, palm trees and people. This town has three hundred and fifty people, it’s a large town like Orange and is a friendly town. If you look very carefully you will spot the rare pink dolphin.
The beaches are calm and the water is as clear as glass. Many people are swimming and others are enjoying the sunshine.
People live in wooden houses and every house has it’s own chimney. The best time to visit this town is in the summer so you can swim in the beautiful beaches. This is an amazing holiday location and there is more to this town than meets the eye!
