Inspire creative writing through an exciting morning at Ushaw, where pupils will meet the mysterious creatures that live here and explore its unique history. Learn why the mythical serpent and fox were turned to wood, discover what is hiding behind the secret fairy door and use your senses to see if you can hear the stories of the trees in the woodland. Create your own story narrative using the characters you meet and the places you explore, to plan a piece of writing like no other!
Combine the above session with an exciting afternoon to inspire non-fiction writing, imaging what the diary of an Ushaw pupil or servant might have looked like. Learn about life as a pupil, practice your Latin, see if you can communicate without breaking your strict vow of silence, and discover the hidden stories of the children who worked as servants at Ushaw.
