Let's Write!

We're really moving forward on developing writing throughout the school this year. Children were greeted on their return after the summer break by a number of writing tasks on the walls in the hall (some examples below) to get them writing whilst waiting for lunch....
We've also introduced a 'Writer of the Week' for each of the three classes. There is a separate section on the school website with more pictures and pupils' writing. Our first three 'winners' work is pictured below (click on the pictures and they will fill the screen) on the new display area. Their work is enlarged and commented on as to why it was chosen, their photo taken and a new certificate awarded - 'Writer of the Week' badges are on order!
The important part is now getting the children to develop a 'love' for writing in all parts of the curriculum. Today saw lots of written ideas in a Blue Class science lesson on materials which are bio-degradable...

Write on!!!
