Amazing two days of #L3 observations in the Kindergarten classrooms at @CanleyValePS. Just look at the confident and creative writing happening in these classrooms for their littlest learners. Congratulations team! Fantastic work! #writing #literacy #EAfS #L3 #Kindergarten

Amazing writing session in a Year 1 class today at @GuildfordPublic driven by the quality of the shared experience text. Perfect example of the impact of text choice, discussion, modelled writing, guided & independent teacher support, and reflection. #L3 #EAfS #Literacy #Writing

Brilliant day at @GuildfordPublic where anchor charts were used to support students’ use of adjectives when reviewing their writing to make it better! Also - check out the great guided writing lesson on onomatopoeia & speech bubbles! #L3 #EAfS #Literacy #Differentiation #Writing

Another lovely morning spent at @GSPS1889 in Stage 1 classes for some wonderful letter writing. Great examples of modelled, guided and independent writing! The strength lies in knowing your students and the content and differentiating to meet all needs. #L3 #EAfS #Writing
