Mrs Henderson and I have been given the chance to take part in an Improving Writing Course run by CYPIC – The Children’s and Young People Improvement Collaborative.  We gathered views on writing from the class at the start of the project and used a piece of written work to help us assess where our writers need most support initially.  We aim to write three times a week and our focus just now is on improving our understanding and use of punctuation.   The class write for just a short 15-20 minute slot before having time to edit and improve their work.  The pupils also help each other in this process too.  😊  Their writing jotters are filling up fast with a variety of writing topics across the curriculum!  Most recently, we have linked our writing to work going on throughout the class and school.  Some examples are…

• Write your top tips to cope with bullying during Anti-bullying Week
• How do you use AI in your daily life?
• Describe the ‘den’ in our class novel
• Persuade Santa to put you back on the good list OR employ you as his elf for this Christmas season OR keep his beard…don’t shave it off!

We contine to share the success of the class with the pupils and they are keen to see the progress they are making.  We hope to reach our target set in the new year before moving on to the next element of ‘Tools for Writing’ to be improved.
