Working with a group of 8-12 year olds is an exhilarating experience. Their knowledge is sound, their vision is clear, their creativity is superlative.
I had one such group write a short story on fairies making a rainbow. This writing exercise was followed by designing of their own book cover and writing of a preface.
The outcome was beautiful! Thier very own cover, their very own story, their small summary and finally they had their first published/printed book in hand.
The story was then decorated with a poetry which was imagined and penned down on the same lines. We saw a combination of an inspirational revolting rhymes [Roald Dahl style] and some fairy tale inspired sweet poetry.
I'm quite sure, the readers of this blog may choose of the the rainbow stories to tell their toddlers.
