English – Writing

“Reading and writing float on a sea of talk” – James Britton

“I like English because it’s fun and I can show off my writing, I’m always getting better at it. If you make a mistake you can use the dictionary and we can always learn from our mistakes.” – Xavier Year 3

“We learn about writing different stories and adventurers. We correct our work and learn about interesting punctuation.”

“I like the exciting lessons with drama and I enjoyed writing letters to people in the Whitchurch Nursing home.”

I won the Spelling Bee in my school. I am really good at Spelling. I can remember how to spell lots of tricky words.” – Lyla Year 1
