Wednesday afternoons

Living in Switzerland and often attending local school, many native (or near native) speaking children do not have regular opportunities to learn about and practice writing in English.

Writing is often considered the most complicated skill to master in a language, as it combines grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary.

Led by UK qualified primary and early years teacher Anna, the aim of these classes is to offer children who are already confident users of English the opportunity to practice writing in a structured and supportive environment.  We explore different genres of writing, developing skills in each area through fun and engaging activities.  Genres such as; story writing, non-fiction writing, poetry, opinion and persuasive writing offer a range of text types to discover.
Children are also given weekly spelling lists to learn and are tested the following week.

Writing workshops are open to native and non-native speakers who are confident users of the language and already have some knowledge of reading and writing.
