Creative Writing

The Cloud-Swing

The Cloud-Swing tells of a young child's magic journey on a cloud swing around Italy under lockdown. Read the story yourself or get a member of your family to read it to you. Once you've read the story you might want to try and write your own trip through lockdown. You could choose a magic carpet or even have your own cloud swing to travel on. It could take you to wherever you want to go.

Further instructions and ideas are at the end of the story.

Happy writing!
