Join Gráinne McCool from ‘The WRITE STUFF Kids’ Club’ for a morning surrounded by nature in the garden at Warren View Manor, writing and reading stories. A lunchtime writing letters to family/friends, bringing back the traditional letter-writing (SAEs will be provided) and an afternoon turning art into poems (we will have paintings on display and participants will create poetry, inspired by the paintings). Alternatively, there will be a selection of poems, where poetry can be turned into art also.
