Burwood East Primary School Writing Club

At Burwood East Primary School, our Writing Club meets twice a week, offering opportunities for students across different year levels:

• Junior Writing Club: Thursdays at lunchtime for students in Foundation to Year 2 in 2E.
• Senior Writing Club: Fridays at recess for students in Year 3 to Year 6 in 2E.

What Happens in Writing Club?

Each session of Writing Club focuses on a specific aspect of writing, guided by student input. Students also have the freedom to work on their own writing projects and receive feedback to help them improve.

Recent Activities:

• In the Junior Writing Club, we have been focusing on creating interesting characters and settings.
• In the Senior Writing Club, students have been exploring poetry, including crafting their own limericks. 

Hear what the students have to say and see some of their work from the club! 

“I like Writing Club because we laugh and make up silly stuff.” (Janelle 4A)

“I love how we choose what to write about” (Paige 4A)

“Limericks, free choice and so much more! This is my favourite club.” (Rosie  4S)

“I like Writing Club because it is interesting and funny." (Tanvika  2E)

 “Writing Club is the best because there is comedy involved.” (An  2E)

“Writing Club is fun because we have been looking at limericks and they are funny.” (Erin  2E)

What is a limerick?

A limerick follows a AABBA rhyming pattern, which means the first, second- and fifth-lines rhyme and the third- and fourth-line rhyme. They usually tell a story that is either silly or funny. 

Ants - by Alieshia 4H

Ants are small,

Sometimes they crawl on balls,

They work as a team, 

never mean,

And live on street side stalls. 

Mountains - by Carys 4H

The mountains are tall, 

Quiet, but not like the mall,

Whispering animals, 

Some like our mammals, 

Mountain animals are sometimes small. 

Spring – by Paige 4S 

The flowers are blooming

The people are grooming

The bees are buzzing

The trees are fuzzing

The dogs are zooming

The Fox - Rosie 4S 

There once was a fox, 

Who lived in a box, 

On one Sunday,

He went out to play,

And got CHICKEN POX!

Autumn by Violet 4S

Little leaves,

Blow through the trees,

Brown, red and yellow,

Go outside or practise your cello,

Leaves fall from the trees.
