Over three weeks you'll explore storyboards, characters, and simple story structures to help bring your ideas to life on the page.

- In Week 2, you will read a short Christmas story for inspiration, create your own character, and start planning and writing your own story using a simple structure.
- In Week 3, you will read another model story, continue writing with support, edit and redraft your work, and finally share and celebrate your Christmas stories as a group.
