Prior to commencing the task, all the year groups from Year 3 to Year 6 had a creative writing focus; this enabled the students to learn or have a refresh on the key components of a good piece of writing such as hooking the reader with a powerful ‘start’, using description to build up atmosphere, using dialogue to enhance a character, ‘show don’t tell’ and so forth. The students really impressed all their teachers, producing great results that showcased their creativity and literacy skills. The Primary School asked the IBSB Secondary School English teachers to judge the writing from each year group and choose which 3 stories we would submit into the competition to represent IBSB. The winning entries were:
Sofia Matei, Year 3, Andrei Popescu, Year 6, & Daria Ghioca Mititelu, Year 6
As a Black Sea Schools member school, we were invited to highlight our students’ creative talents by submitting some entries into their second Black Sea School Creative writing competition 2021. The task of the competition was to write a short story or the opening to a novel connected to the theme ‘ ‘The Imposter ‘. Students were permitted to interpret this theme in any way they wished, but this message had to be reflected in each piece of writing.
