Great to be back Van Gogh Primary today working with Y6 teachers on moderation and seeing such a brilliant range of purposeful and authentic quality writing outcomes. Lovely to see some of the gorgeous writing from their recent whole school text on display too ⬇️ 🕊️ 🌎 @literacytree.bsky.social

A brilliant day working with Noremarsh Jr & Wellington Lions on their upcoming Trust-wide Whole School text. This time we’ve worked with them to plan a new one from scratch & can’t wait to see the results! Always wonderful to get time in classes and look at books too! @literacytree.bsky.social

Pieces from every class were combined together to create this stunning artwork mirroring Coralie Bickford-Smith’s illustrations, which will join the other whole-school pieces from previous whole-school roots adorning the school corridors 💫 🦊 🏆

After planning with Noremarsh Junior School for their next whole-school Writing Root a few months ago, it was an utter joy to be back today to see the results. This time, a whole Trust focus using The Fox and the Star with truly jaw-dropping art and writing outcomes 🦊 💫 👀 @literacytree.bsky.social

🐉 Fiery fiends will soon be winging their way to Y1 classes as our new #WritingRoot for Dragon Post by Emma Yarlett goes into its final stages of editing! Expect menus, flight path maps and ‘how to’ guides as children explore this magical book filled with urgent letters! @literacytree.bsky.social

A privilege to be in classes today at Rosendale Primary School. Rich discussions, collaboration and infectious engagement as children across the school explored megalodons 🦈 , 1920s New York 🌆 , wild robots 🤖 and magical necklaces 🌧️ through Literary Leaves! @literacytree.bsky.social

A joy to be back at College Town Primary in Berkshire today spending time in their KS1 classes. Look at these amazing Working Walls filled with live modelling, sentence strips and colour coding! And what cosy homes Y1 have created for their pebbles! ❤️ 📖 🌎 @literacytree.bsky.social

Final stages of proofreading for our new Y5 #WritingRoot for Rumaysa: A Fairy Tale by Radiya Hafiza, launching by the end of this week! 🙌 Expect to find warning posters, villain’s lair adverts, diary entries and more before children create their own prequels! 📖 @literacytree.bsky.social

A brilliant day at Rosendale Primary today looking at children’s writing to celebrate successes and identify misconceptions to support teachers with adaptive planning. A wonderful sense of audience and purpose throughout when you #TeachThroughaText @literacytree.bsky.social

Pebble is ready for Year 1 delegates this morning, where we’ll be exploring our #TeachThroughaText approach and the importance of immersive discovery points, hands-on learning and authentic writing opportunities 🪨 🎁 🫂 @literacytree.bsky.social

Fantastic Working Walls in classrooms and displays in corridors celebrating writing at College Town Primary too - a joy to watch children in real time using their teacher models, prior learning and Working Walls to support them with their own writing 🖋️ @literacytree.bsky.social

Some of the stunning writing opportunities seen at College Town Primary today as we were invited into classrooms across the school. It’s always a highlight to chat to children about the texts and see their faces light up as they share their learning!@literacytree.bsky.social

What better way to welcome 2025 than delving into quality children’s literature? A brilliant day with enthusiastic and insightful staff at Yattendon School in Surrey to launch #WritingRoots and the #TeachThroughaText approach 👏 📖 🌎 @literacytree.bsky.social
