A writing day here working on a new Y4 Writing Root for this absolute beauty of a text. The Crown by @EmilyKapff is an utterly stunning book with a powerful message and so many writing opportunities within it ✍️💚🌱🌍 @theliteracytree #Teachthroughatext

✨We’re thrilled to introduce our latest resource for Bright Stars of Black British History by J.T. Williams. This beautiful text brings the inspiring stories of 14 Black British figures to life – from the Roman era to post-WW2. Perfect for meaningful classroom discussions on identity + contributions across history!

Today year 1 were on a mission!
The police asked us to help with their investigation to find evidence of what Naughty Bus has been up to.
We discovered he has been causing chaos all over the school!

Fantastic to team up with @LiteracyJenS today for a @theliteracytree launch @Juliansprimary in Streatham! We journeyed into the wilderness with wonderful instant publishing opportunities and some seriously artistic creations for a ‘dangers of the wild’ exhibition!

What a creative bunch our Y6 teachers were! After unpicking @theliteracytree pedagogy, we wrote poetry, experimented with formality through funding applications & text messages and explored lots of other purposeful writing opportunities with the stunning Leila and the Blue Fox❄️
