We have been working on note-making skills and then using our notes to create new discursive and persuasive texts. We have found the topics really interesting and had some excellent discussions and debates in class.

During Big Writing lessons we spend time on VCOP (V- Vocabulary, C- Connctives, O-Openers and P- Punctuation .) We can then use some of the ideas to improve our writing. We have also managed to find some fabulous WOW words to incorporate into our own writing.

The literacy skills that we learn are applied across different curricular areas.
