Local Nursery Children Become Published Writers
Posted on by Deeside College | Leave a comment
Children from the Toybox Nursery at Deeside College are celebrating after having their work published at the ages of just 3 and 4 years old.
The children who are all in the Nursery’s Grasshopper room, each wrote a short poem with the help of their parents’, titled ‘My Day at ….. the Farm, the Zoo or Nursery’. Staff from the Toybox Nursery then sent the creative masterpieces through to the organisation, ‘Young Writers’, who have used the collection in the new book, My Day At.
The book is now available for parents to purchase. Along with poems from other young writers from across the UK, it features contributions from Reece Birch, Dylan Piper, Jodey Lewis Evans, Daniel Buxton, Rebecca Johnston, Finnley Clutton and Lucy Davies.
Toybox Nursery Deputy Manager, Pam Quinn said:
“It is wonderful that the children have had their work published. We are very proud of each them. All children in the Grasshopper room at the nursery, so those between the ages of 3 and 5 years, are encouraged to start thinking about reading and constructing stories as part of the national curriculum. It is great to think that we have so many budding writers in this group.”
