Creative Literacy Workshop: The DIY Writer
Friday 13th February 2015
A satisfying and engaging morning with teachers from local primary schools talking through the processes that support children’s development in writing. The group got to grips with talk as a basis for writing, explored their artistic response to a book and saw how model texts can help children shape their own compositions.
Thank you to all who took part for your enthusiasm, positive child-centred attitude and for making it such a fun morning!
I am delighted the staff found it useful and gave some great feedback:
“[The session gave me] lots of ideas I can take home and implement next term.”
“I will be changing my practise so the provision for children is better.”
“Lots of ideas about how to use picture books and ways of breaking down modeled writing.”
Calum, Teacher Y3
Ali, Teaching Assistant
“Very inspirational and creative – lots of new ideas to improve writing and unlock children’s imaginations.”
Nadia, Teacher Y4
“[I took away] a good understanding of how to support writing within my class.”
