This one-day course looks at what makes an excellent writer and delves into aspects of writing development. We explore where ideas come from and how to grow a toolbox of skills which will help children to express their ideas whatever the writing occasion. The course is designed to be a balance of theory and practical group interaction, enabling delegates to leave with hands-on experience of strategies to apply back in school.
