Exploring words through science
Science and writing have so much in common – a quest for fresh ideas, the need for attention to detail, and consistent reworking and development of a chosen route.
Writers involved in SAW have witnessed the power of scientific ideas and images to provide inspirational starting points for developing innovative ideas and texts. When coupled with the amazing enthusiasm and creativity of schoolchildren, it’s a heady (some would say addictive!) mix. Everyone taking part comes away inspired, refreshed and lured by the scientific muse.
“Bringing science and writing together in the classroom seems the most natural thing to do.”
Helen Ivory, Eric Gregory award-winning Bloodaxe poet
“SAW - A wholeness of experience, an integration that is both affirming and revelatory.”
Jill Pirrie, internationally renowned poetry teacher
