Messages from Creative Writing - Somerset Week 2


This week, our Creative Writing students wanted to contribute to the blog using some of the skills they have learned this week in class. They have talked about sonnets, poems, short stories, and specific writing techniques, such as show, don't tell. Read what these talented students have done this week.

"I wrote a poem called Twins. This poem is about twins who are in a hotel."

"I wrote a poem called Wonderland. I put my own spin on Alice in Wonderland."

"I wrote an essay called Ode to Nature. It is about how I feel when I am surrounded by nature. I used a lot of descriptive words so that I could show my reader what I was feeling, not just telling them."

Overall, the students have been having a great time in class with their teacher, Emily!


Twinning on Pajama Day!

Chatham Week 2

      Theme day is always a hit in Chatham. The campers took it to a new level here. There were pajamas with donuts, Paw Patrol, SpongeBob, planes, StormTroopers, and many more. We are always on the hunt to get more Ivy Points for the Treasure Chest. With all the friends and siblings twinning was another theme. Can't wait for next week!

Starting the Summer off in Summit

Our campers are really enjoying their first week of camp at Summit, especially our 3D Printing class. We're very impressed by the creative things they have printed so far!


Creativity at Best

Chatham Week 2: Comic Creation

It's a bird! It's a plane! No! It's the newest batch of super heroes bursting out of Comic Creation. What's the newest and coolest class? Definitely this one according to our campers. They have been working hard with their teacher Jeff developing different comics. Here is what some of the campers said about the class so far.

     Camper A: "What I think is cool about this class is that you can do whatever you want with the
                         comic"

     Camper R: "I like the variety of things you can do with your comic and Jeff."

     Camper D: "Hot dog man and lazy bacon! Jeff is cool!"

     Camper M: "The class is good because the program is easy to use!"

     Camper M2: "My comic is about my movie!"

     Camper J: "This class is really swag because the website is really cool. Also, Jeff is pretty cool
                         too. The only thing this joint needs is a jacuzzi. BTW Jeff's comic is funny.Also,the                       people in the class are nice."
