Ferndown U3A share their writing with Year 8
Ferndown writing group ‘U3A’ inspires schoolchildren to share thoughts and ideas and will be returning in the summer 2017.
A local writing group called into Ferndown Middle School and shared a variety of poems and short stories with Year 8 pupils on 26 January.
Peter Hunt from Ferndown and District U3A Writing Group said, “Beforehand, I think we were all wondering how successful our attempt to close the generation gap might be, but we needn’t have worried because what we found was an enthusiastic, bright, intelligent group of students, who not only showed their appreciation of our efforts but were also very keen to share their thoughts and ideas about creative writing with us.”
Due to the level of interest shown, another visit is planned for the summer term.
