Writing around the school

This morning it was a real privilege to visit various classes to see how they were developing their writing as well as their evaluation and review skills.

It was great to see how one class was developing their very own sequel to the Borrowers, another working on their persuasive writing skills and using these to develop an information booklet about Alton Towers and another evaluating previous entries into the 500 words competition.





Lots of great conversations about different language features, planning stories using writing frames and identifying why a text engages and draws you in.

In addition the visits to the classrooms demonstrated how creative each class has been in integrating their literacy work into so many other curriculum areas.
