Description

 

Being confident to ‘have a go’ in a range of contexts, from your dramatic play space to recording observations of change in your science collections;  early writing opportunities where explicit and authentic opportunities combine to create engaged young children to write for a purpose for a range of audiences. After lunch, we will split into two groups, K-PP and 1-2, to provide differentiated, practical examples of how to support early writers in your classroom setting.
