Writing<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Within Thorn, we use the Talk for Writing approach to teach and assess writing skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

All aspects of writing are developed throughout the school using a wide variety of opportunities and resources and are related to other areas of the curriculum.<\/span><\/p>\n

Teachers aim to provide opportunities for within real life contexts through topics and mini projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Listening and talking skills are developed in many ways. Children are encouraged to talk and listen in a variety of situations, e.g. \u00a0 listening to and respecting others’ opinions, expressing opinions, \u00a0listening for information, responding to texts, presenting information.<\/span><\/p>\n
