We are delighted to announce that we have achieved 'GOLD' for our Writing Quality Mark! We are so proud of our fantastic pupils and staff here at Holy Trinity. Congratulations to everybody! #LWQM #Writing4purpose #Writing4pleasure @Jacsalsmith @HolyTrinityGar

Year 4 had some super visitors from Year 2 this week to share their fantastic ‘Room on the broom’ writing. Mrs Cummings, Miss Woodhead & Year 4 were so impressed with the writing standard in year 2. 😊😊 #LWQM #publishing #readingaloud @Jacsalsmith @HolyTrinityGar

Sentence-Level Instruction “…We know that formal grammar instruction has always had a negative impact on children’s writing development. However, the types of instruction suggested here are far more promising…” writing4pleasure.com/the-writing-fo…

Lessons That Teach Powerful Craft Knowledge “…Writing-study lessons are the single most effective teaching practice you can employ. This is because they are about sharing the powerful ‘how to’ knowledge, the hints, tips and secrets of being a writer…” writing4pleasure.com/the-writing-fo…

Writing is a way to express yourself, but it's also a powerful tool to lift your voice, disrupt the power structure, seek justice, and advocate for what is right. You can use writing to shape the kind of writing you want to live in. #awritersnotebook #joywrite

Some wonderful ideas for other teachers and our grown ups at home! #LWQM @HolyTrinityGar
