NOVEMBER WEEKEND [Friday, November 11th]

We reconnected by introducing ourselves again and giving a background to where our names came from....


some examples.....
Iona was called after a Scottish Island that her mum  visited when she was pregnant

Nora was christened Honora, traditionally after her mums name as first born girl,

Eleftheria names means Freedom in Greek

We then spent an hour or so looking back on What happened in October weekend using our blog to remind us of all the activities that we experienced. There was a lot! The group was reminded that one of the main purposes of the is to support them in their reflective journal.

LUNCH TIME

Creative Writing Workshop with Kristi Collins



Here's some captions you might like to use for the blog:

We warmed up with an epic rhyming battle

We wrote our first collaborative poems using the exquisite corpse technique.

 
We explored imagery and figurative language as a way of giving our words resonance and power

…and used our new power to imagine and describe our future. 

We joined all our futures together, to create one poem that spoke for all of us.

We distilled the essence of the poem into five statements to inspire and inform our visual art.
