Week Three Preview: Secrets

Here's a sneaky peek at our theme for next week.... press the triangle play button to find out more. It works best if you keep the video screen on the small setting but you can watch a bigger version when you come next Thursday. 

Start thinking of some top secret ideas but don't tell anyone...

Week One: Idea Explosion

The sheer amount of children who have signed up for Notebook Ninjas has been overwhelming. The group even has a waiting list now. I fear however the eagerness of the current crop of children will leave those on the waiting list disappointed. Today saw the first real chance for the children to come up with ideas for their first piece of Notebook Ninja writing and boy did the ideas come thick and fast. The theme was humour and the children delivered this in abundance. From a man with flying eyebrows to a Narnia inspired piece, the variety and quality from all of these budding authors was brilliant to see. Next week will be based around poetry in all its forms. If the enthusiasm carries on, which I'm sure it will, then we will have yet another catalogue of fantastic writing to enjoy and hopefully display.

Logo Competition

 

The children have entered a colouring competiton to decide the design of the official Notebook Ninja logo. Vote for your favourites by posting the number of your chosen entry in the comments box below! The winner will be announced after the last entry has been recieved on Thursday 9th May. 

 

About The Notebook Ninjas

Masters of the blank page

The Notebook Ninjas are a group of creative writers based in Ivybridge, Devon.

We believe that you are never too young to start writing. At Notebook Ninjas, children between the ages of 4 and 11 years old are inspired and encouraged to write fiction.

Never afraid of a blank page, we meet weekly during term time and give children the space and opportunity to write their own stories, often about a given theme.

 

We also support the children with:

 

1) Plot and character development

2) Scene setting and description

3) Discovering their individual writing voice
