We have been trying to improve our writing throughout the school and across the curriculum. We are also working together to improve our collective understanding of where a child is and where they need to go! Below is some information on our project.

Children are encouraged to: Talk about their writing Find exciting words and use these in their writing Borrow exciting words and phrases from other authors (WOW words) Have a go at using punctuation that is directed at specific year groups n Once a week in their classrooms write for an extended period of time Encouraged and expected to have joined handwriting by the end of Year 2 Re-read their own writing and find ways to make it better Understand what they need to do to improve. Listen to Mozart whilst writing Use special paper and pens when in the BIG WRITING session Scented candles are lit to create a calming atmosphere  __Have a look at the following documents__ Best practice in the reading and writing of pupils aged 7 to 14 years [| 7-14+best+practice.pdf] ====Punctuation Pyramid [| PunctuationPyramid.doc] ====
