Haiku poem workshop

Prayer for the 21st Century Poems

After reading and discussing John Marsden's book Prayer for the twenty-first century, HB 19 decided to create our own poems with a similar message. Look out for this workshop next week during our Poetry Cafe sessions. Happy reading!

What's a million...?

Check out the fantastic "What's a million... poems that HB 19 has been writing. We would love some feedback on these.

Estimate of the Week

Homebase 19 is running a competition to see who can guess how many jaffas are in this jar.  Place your estimate in the comment box, along with your name and HB number - remember 1 entry per person so estimate carefully!

Bonus question - how long does it take to make a jaffa?

Sensational Settings - Narratives

This term our writing focus is Narratives. We will be looking closely at the structure and language features of this type of writing - so let's get the party started! 
Use the image above to describe a possible setting for your own narrative - think carefully about utilising your 5 senses to describe this tranquil location. 100 words limit - happy creative writing team!

Fears and Phobias

We have been writing personal recounts about a fear or phobia we may have had when we were younger.  Hopefully you might to be able to relate to a few of these issues shared - enjoy!

Welcome back!

Check our our amazing holiday recounts - it is great to see the progress Homebase 19 is making with their writing!  Your feedback and comments are much appreciated!
