Hot Legs to Burn People

A monster from a Blythefield Primary School student. I love the spiral form tentacles, really well described with just a few black strokes; "Hot legs to burn people"

Story Mountain at Fane Street

After one of my workshops, P6 and P7 students at Fane Street Primary School produced a whole wall of monsters. A process of drafting and redrafting went into some of the creatures and it was very interesting to see.

P6 also like to write. Their teacher uses something called a 'Story Mountain' to guide his students through the construction of their creative writing projects. It's a line that climbs from 'setting' and up through 'character.' It peaks at 'climax' before ascending again to 'conclusion.' It's an excellent guide, I might try it myself.



Thank you to everyone I meet at Fane Street Primary.

Thank you to all the students and staff at Donegall Road Primary School.

New Monsters of the Deep

I had a lot of visitors lately. P7 and P6 from Donegall Road Primary School came to to Queen's University and I gave them a class in True Monsters of the Deep. Then they created some monsters of their own. Here are P7's creations. P6's will follow shortly.

Thank you to all the students and staff at Donegall Road Primary School.
