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.”
Michelle, Teacher
“I will be changing my practise so the provision for
children is better.”
Bryan, Teacher
“Lots of ideas about how to use picture books and ways of
breaking down modeled writing.”
Calum, Teacher Y3
“Inspiring ideas.”
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.”
Jess, Teacher
