Workshop one: Planning for writing
ENGLAND I’ve always loved Whitstable, the arty fishing town on Kent’s northern coast, with its huge blue/grey skies stretching to infinity, its colourful, wooden beach huts, its golden, shingle shore and at the edge of its clear waters-those which glisten in the sunlight, its oysters.

Writing an articleHeadline WONDERFUL WALES
What, where, who, why? Wales is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. With its
rolling hills, glistening lakes and golden sand beaches it has something
for everyone. Today, I’m going to explore its most famous
mountain…Snowdon.
The mountain sits in a huge, peaceful valley. I walk down past the
Big picture glistening and glimmering waters of Llyn Cwellyn and begin my trek
along the slate covered path up the side of the mountain. It is huge and
towers above me like a monster or a dinosaur; I can safely say it is
going to be a hard and rocky road to the top.
Zooming in The lake is beautiful. It glistens brightly in the sunlight. It is blue in
colour, like a sapphire or topaz gemstone. It is inviting, it seems cool
and refreshing on such a hot day. Today, I am not swimming, I am
climbing a mountain.
There is a gorse bush at the side of the path. The small, yellow flowers

seem bright and exciting against the green spiky leaves. I look ahead of
me and I can see there are just four more gorse bushes before I
arrive at the summit.
