Embrace your inner writer and unleash your creativity during History Week!

The State Library has provided inspiration for generations of writers. In this interactive and dynamic online session, students will use the Library's collections as an inspirational launching pad for their own writing.

Through engaging with a series of stimulus and writing prompts, students have the opportunity to brainstorm story ideas, develop characters and produce short pieces of writing.

This session is suitable for children aged 9-12.
