Writing a story with Ivan Brett and the ±«Óătv Symphony Orchestra...

Take a look at some wonderful work made by children across the UK whilst they stay at home.

In week nine's activity author and teacher Ivan Brett helped you in writing your own stories about mysterious, mythical creatures with inspiration from Mason Bates' A Bao A Qu, performed by the ±«Óătv Symphony Orchestra.

Join Ivan Brett as you imagine your very own mythical creature and story alongside the ±«Óătv Symphony Orchestra. What does your character look like? How do they move? What problems do they face?

Here are your creative responses...

"I have used Mason Bates’ A Bao A Qu as inspiration to create a character called The Snoggy. He is a creature that lives under the sea in a cave, he has the body of a snake and his head is dog like. He slithers and thrashes around whilst trying to find his tail" by Matilda Reed

This is a poem by Alex Dixon, inspired by the week 9 mythical creature activity with Ivan Brett. Alex really enjoyed this and found the music very evocative.

My name is Nuri and I’m year 4. I drew three pictures of monsters. I was inspired by the music called “A bao A qu” by Mason Bates.
