AIM YOUNG WRITERS CLUB

 AIM Young Writers Club is a one year programme comprising three modules to cover all aspects of creative writing. Each module is of 12 weeks and can be booked separately.  

 We acknowledge that expressing creativity on the page, in a vivid manner, requires the right techniques and excellent knowledge of descriptive vocabulary. This course covers all the essential aspects of creative writing such as writing styles, planning, expression of thoughts, speech, descriptive language and proofreading. Children learn to create original short stories, essays, diary entries, articles, blogs, and poetry. We bring renowned authors and young budding writers under one roof to facilitate the art of writing. 

Available Courses for 7-9 year olds

Young writers Club

Foundation level- Introduction to writing techniques and vocabulary 

This club is perfect for  budding storytellers who need a little help clarifying their ideas and putting them on to paper. In this course, we'll introduce children to the basic elements of creative writing such as  writing styles, planning, sentence structure, vocabulary, descriptive language and proofreading. They will learn different writing techniques and are encouraged to use them so that they can effectively express their ideas on to paper.  

Children will complete various engaging writing activities so that they treat writing as an enjoyable activity. Each week, they will also learn new challenging words and  how to retain  and use them in writing and daily conversation. This is an incredible course to introduce younger children aged 7-9 year olds to the concept of creative writing or to remind reluctant writers that not all writing has to be academic in nature!

 Young Writers Club- Learn to write in different styles 

In this club, students will learn writing techniques through activities and discussion. We'll encourage them to read as a writer. Together, we'll look at excerpts from books such as Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo, Gangsta Granny by David Walliams and Wonder by R.J. Palacio, for examples of figurative language, captivating beginnings, meaningful dialogues, dynamic characters, and other elements of fiction. They'll expand their creativity while learning to use setting, plot, and character development in various genres.  Each week, they'll participate in some in-class writing and learn to adapt their script according to the chosen genre. This module's end goal is to ensure that children acquire the skills to turn their stories into literary masterpieces. They'll also have a deeper understanding about the importance of editing and proofreading in writing. This course is ideal for 10-12 year olds.

A short piece of writing task is set each week to strengthen understanding of newly learned topics. Another part of homework includes active observation of surroundings, people and objects to enhance their imagination and ingenious thinking.

How will I know that my child’ skills have improved?

At the time of enrolment, we will discuss the objective you want your child to achieve through this course. You will have the opportunity to review their progress weekly, and discuss any concerns you might have.  At the end of the course, you will have the chance to reflect on what they have learnt.  Like any other skill, Writing can be improved gradually with constant practice. Therefore, we ask parents to discuss their child’s weekly learning and encourage them to complete any homework activity.

How is the course delivered?

This twelve-week module is delivered via Zoom. Each week, children attend a two-hour session. We do not enrol more than six pupils per group so that each child can participate in the discussions actively and get constructive feedback on their work.

What is the cost of the course and how can I enrol?

The young writers club is for just £20.00 per hour! The weekly class is for 2 hours, so you are looking at an investment of £40 per week. Each module is for 12 weeks; thus making the total module investment for £480. Currently, we are offering the course for £440.00 for a limited period.
