I enjoyed the writing workshop because we got to do fun activities , talk, listen to a story, answer a riddle and write a story using a one of the four crazy titles our class came up with that had to have certain nouns and conjunctions.It was worth while because it was fun.Pat Ryan the storyteller gave us story writing tips and said that he had met lots of famous authors including Michael Morpurgo, Jacqueline Wilson and J.K Rowling.

I really enjoyed the Writing Workshop in school today and it was fun to see Patrick Ryan again. I thought it was very interesting and showed me how to use my imagination when thinking about how to write a story and to make it more interesting. I enjoyed teaming up to discuss our own stories. I also enjoyed using description and sound effects in our stories. I enjoyed listening to Patrick's story and especially to his funny riddle. I can't wait until Patrick has another workshop in our school again.

I thought the workshop was really good because you got to work with a friend and tell them about your favourite place, what was it like, what happened there and what were the smells.It was also really good because you got to solve a really funny riddle and do lots of fun activities. It was worthwhile because it was fun and I really enjoyed it!!! I learned to include more description in my stories and to put more excitement in my stories to make it really good. Thank you!!!

English Homework!
Pat Ryan in P6 Mr Magowan's Class
On Tuesday 19th of March, Patrick Ryan came to King's Park Primary School to run a one day writing workshop. When he arrived we all said hello to him again, as we had listened to Patrick tell us stories and riddles previously. He started off by telling us a story about a tailor and his clothes. Next we were to think of a memory. We were to get a partner and to tell them that memory to see if it turned into a story. After that he told us a riddle about a cat, a human and a stool. He then told us to think of a really short story,so we did. We got into pairs and found a space in the room.
Next we numbered ourselves 1 and 2. Number 1 told number 2 his/her story and then number 2 told it back to them,adding things to the story. It went on like that until the short story had become a story with a lot of detail and expression. When we had finished that, we had to think of nouns begining with the letter 'r', colours etc. With these words we had to make a 'crazy title', and we made 4 crazy titles with the words that we found. Finally we wrote a story! My story was called 'The big race and the ruby cat'. When it was time for Pat to leave, we all said goodbye sadly as we did not want him to go.We had had so much fun! Thank you Pat!!!

Patrick came today and told us stories. He was very interesting and helpful the way he showed us how to think of stories of or own.
I think it was worthwhile because he told us stories and how he made them up so he told us to think of a place or a thing that you know about then you had to get in to a pear and the place or a thing you have thought about you tell a story.
I learnt how to make a story from my head.

Writing Workshop

What do you think of the workshop?
I thought that the workshop was very good.It was fun and very active as well.

Was the workshop worthwhile?
The workshop was defiantly worthwhile because it was just so much fun and we had some riddles to work out like:Two legs sat on three legs eating no legs, then four legs took no legs but then two legs threw three legs at four legs, then four legs dropped no legs so then two legs got no legs. Try figure that out!

What did you learn from the workshop?
Today I learnt lots of things from the workshop it was a very nice activity do be doing.Though we learnt how authors write books not just plain writing but with lots off speech and punctuation in stories.

Thank you Patrick!

Today we learned about a writing workshop,we did lots of fun games.It was definitely worthwhile because we wrote a story with one of the four titles,We had to get into partners of twos and had to pick a number 1 or 2 and tell each other a memory that has happened.

Report on creative writing workshop which took place on Tuesday 18th March primary 6 at Kings Park Primary School.

The workshop was taken by Patrick Ryan, a storyteller who has written books and reports for politicians. I really enjoyed the workshop and I would love Patrick to come again.
What did I think of the workshop?
I thought the workshop was brilliant as I love reading books as well as writing stories. I really enjoyed the activities and games we played and Patrick's accent as he is from America.This workshop really inspired and encouraged me to write more stories and to read more books fiction and non-fiction. Some writing is really boring but from Patrick's point of view it made writing REALLY REALLY fun.
Was it worthwhile?
YES it definitely worthwhile as we learnt a lot and had lots of fun. As I have said I would love to do it or something similar again.
What did I learn from the workshop?
I learnt that everybody sees stories in a different way like some peoples brain sees pictures,words,photographs or storyboards. We learnt a riddle about legs which I loved because it really got your brain thinking.I also learnt that titles can be made from different categories of words for example colours,nouns,animals.
I want to say a BIG HUGE thank you to Patrick for coming and taking the workshop!!!!

Today a storyteller called Patrick Ryan came to visit our P6 class. He told the class several stories, one of which was about a tailor.
I thought the writing workshop and the stories told were very imaginative and showed me how powerful a human beings imagination can be.
It was worthwhile doing this activity because it was teaching us to write better stories by using our imagination, linking ideas together and ensuring that we include plenty of detail.
I really enjoyed the workshop and would like it if Patrick Ryan could come back to our class again some day.

Today in class a man named Patrick Ryan came to talk to us about story telling and writing.He was a very nice man and made work FUN.
- It was amazing. If school was like that I would turn up half dead or alive.
- He didn't waist our time at all it was FUN,EXITING and AWESOME.
- Writing doesn't have to be boring. you tell a story from real life problems and places you went.

Thank you Pat!!!

Yesterday Pat Ryan came to our school and did a writing workshop with us. He explained how to make a story and how to imagine it in our heads. We came up with four funny titles so we could make our own little stories. I thought that the writing workshop was interesting because he taught us how to make our own stories.

THANK YOU PAT :D!!!!

I loved it, In my story was called the Big pink baseball cap and the small terrible horse. I wish he came more often. It was worthwhile I also like the legs story:
2 legs sat on 3 legs and 4 legs took 0 legs and 2 legs threw 3 leg at 4 legs and 4 legs dropped 0 legs and 2 legs got 0 legs back.
I learn that a good writer writes his story out a couple of times to make it better.

yesterday the storyteller called pat ryan came into our school and told us a story and a riddle it was really fun and we got to tell memories and also make up a story with a choice of 4 titles we started off with little red ridding hood and the big bad wolf and became big pink baseball cap and the terrible horse. it was really fun and at the end all of our class asked him to come in again sometime and he says if the teachers and mr.shields let him so i hope he does come in again because it was so fun! yes i do think its worthwile because if you listen to the tips he is giving us then we could write our own storys and read more books then if you read books then you learn more words and you will be smarter!

I thought that the storyteller was very good as he was both creative and imaginative. He showed us how to structure a story at the beginning to keep us not only entertained but interested. He made me laugh with stories and riddles that were extremely funny, I love the way that he changed the tone of his voice while telling me stories. During the workshop he made us close our eyes and focus focus to allow our own imagination to breed as he spoke! I would would like thank Pat Ryan for coming into speak to us!!!!!!

I thought it was fun because I was partner with Miss S.Spiers and I got to know a funny fact about Miss S.Spiers. It was really funny when Pat turned every story title into a funny title. Then he told us to right a story in 5 mins for 5 mins I just heard scibbling and writing. Pat told us a funny riddle which was really cool. After Pat had gone Miss S.Spiers told us to right a description of the riddle.
