Winter Holiday Programme Schedule 2023

This holiday period, Academia offers primary school students the opportunity to develop their expressiveness through writing.

Students can choose from our range of workshops — from modules that focus on illustrating elements from their daily life, to classes that bring them on a journey to discover and imagine tangible and relatable characters. Each workshop explores a different theme, and students will have produced a portfolio of well-crafted stories by the end of the classes.

Students can expect a fun, engaging, and meaningful experience. They will gain both confidence in their craft, and the ability to compose more compelling writing.

1. WRI 001: Classic Stories - Composition Fundamentals

For our youngest students, exposure to classic themes can be beneficial and insightful, providing a framework for their continuous academic progress.

This module focuses on 3 timeless storylines that are archetypes, imbued with our signature writing style for students to emulate and use as a springboard for their own development. At the end of the module, students will have produced three well-crafted stories.

2. WRI101: Values and Virtues

Compassion, honesty, kindness, generosity. From fables to fairy tales, bildungsromans to science fiction, values and virtues have been central elements in storytelling since the dawn of time. Stories inspire us to be better versions of ourselves, placing us in the shoes of courageous heroes, loyal friends, and gentle supporters. 

Values and virtues are recurring themes in primary school composition writing too. Students must imagine the challenges faced by their characters, and the paths that are open to them. This module will cover situations in which aforesaid virtues are demonstrated and exemplified with just the right touch. Conducted as a workshop, students will have produced three well-crafted stories by the end of the module.
