After an exciting first year of Talk For Writing, please see below view points from some of our children.
What have you enjoyed learning about in English? |
"I have enjoyed learning new things. I like improving my writing. I have enjoyed my hot task which was a quest tale. The characters were going on an adventure. I enjoy learning the actions and boxing up really helps you when you are doing the hot task." Johan - Year 2
"I have really enjoyed the big pieces of writing! I love the hot task because I can use my imagination. I like fiction and non -fiction. I like learning something new in non- fiction. I love learning the text together, learning the actions. It is fun to do it with the class. I get to practice at home and put on a show for my mum and dad. I like how confident I feel in the hot task at the end." Rea - Year 3
"I have enjoyed writing stories and lots of different texts. It is really fun to use your own ideas. I like learning a story and retelling it independently. It helps me to know a story so I can write another one." Vincent - Year 3 |
What to do if you don’t understand the work? |
"When we start a new text we write the words we are not sure of and Miss Davies then shows us what it means with a picture and that really helps me. I can ask Miss Davies for help at any time." Maysa - Year 4 |
"3 before me. Get up use a dictionary. Ask my partner and then ask teacher." Rishi - Year 4 Can you tell me about some of the new skills you have learned in English? |
"I have learned how to make my writing better. I can go back and look for speech marks and punctuation if I have missed it." Rupert - Year 2 |
"I have been learning how to write wishing tales. We have been learning about new speaker new line. I learnt how to write a persuasive letter. I can create a toolkit for different types of stories. I know what the present perfect tense is." Vincent - Year 3 |
