At Ireby, we are dedicated to creating a loving community for all, where all are celebrated as unique individuals and where passions and talents can flourish.
Our writing is a fundamental form of communication in our society. Enabling our children to write with confidence for a range of purposes and audiences is vital if they are to flourish and play an active role in our communities.
‘Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.’
‘In writing. Don’t use adjectives which merely tell us how you want us to feel about the thing you are describing. I mean, instead of telling us a thing was “terrible,” describe it so that we’ll be terrified. Don’t say it was “delightful”; make us say “delightful” when we’ve read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers, “Please will you do my job for me.’
