The Enchanted Garden
In this workshop we will show the children how the nature around them can inspire wondrous stories. We will begin our workshop with readings from children’s stories and then, full of ideas, we will venture into the magical garden at Friends House to discover what strange and mysterious creatures live there. What will we find hiding under the leaves? Inside pine cones? In fox holes? Who reigns in this peaceful kingdom? Who is lurking to disturb that peace?

Wickedly Funny Wednesday
From Roald Dahl to Ted Hughes, animals have inspired humorous and entertaining poetry for children for years. Let’s laugh at poems, gasp at their wondrous use of language and then sprinkle some of the funny dust on our pages to begin writing our own amusing poetry.

Fantastic Fiction
February can be a drab time of year – so let’s go on an epic adventure into our imaginations. On our journey we will build a sparkling fantasy world and populate it with witches, wizards and fantastic beasts. What potions and spells will you discover? What vile villains will get in your way? Come and join the adventure of a lifetime and escape the February blues….
