Sandgate Primary: Talk for Writing Training Centre
@SandgateTfW
Sandgate Primary School in Kent is a Talk for Writing Training Centre. You can visit the school to see TfW in action & also book official training packages.
A sample from our World Book Day celebrations - this year, we celebrated all the wonderful witches and wizards in our favourite stories.
Children in the EYs planned what they'd take if they had... room on the broom

Check out this Y5 narrative fuelled by @MichellePaver’s Wolf Brother. The children spent a few days reminding themselves about meeting tales & the character tools they’ve worked on previously & then wrote a new chapter.

Our newest display to help children, parents and visitors to the @Talk4Writing Training Centre to see the journey through the Early Years at Sandgate Primary.

Chief Inspector Green is in session, interviewing suspects to round out the Mystery of the Missing Necklace.
What a superb day we’ve had at @sandgatetfw deep inside our very own detective mystery story.
This March, it's 100 years since Agatha Christie released Poirot Investigates, so for #WorldBookDay tomorrow, we're celebrating all things mystery story.
In unrelated news, we have been leant this famous and expensive necklace to display in our school for the next few days...
And we’re off!
Looking forward to another fun-filled @Talk4Writing Taster Morning at @SandgateTfW today!
Taster mornings are every half term throughout the year - dates available via https://t.co/CW3k8xZJ2T and bookable by emailing or phoning the school.

Comprehension guru Tony Whatmuff is here at @SandgateTfW today, working and filming with the children ahead of tomorrow's inset day.
Superb to work with Tony again - and incredible insight into the mechanisms and different ways that children come to comprehend text.
@OxUniPress
@PieCorbett has popped in!
What a treat for Pie to share his expertise around poetry into writing from a picture stimulus.
Plus also some excellent owl impressions.
@PiersTorday is in the house (school)! 🎉🥳🎉
Always a pleasure to welcome a published author to Sandgate but even more so when it's an author whose books we know so well.
So much of Piers's talk about the way authors think resonated with the work we do through @Talk4Writing.
A corker from @Toriaclaire & @BobCox_SFE.
A question I often like to ask is, "Are we teaching this book, or understanding of all litetature?" By teaching concepts across linked texts, Bob explains this with great clarity. Something we do through Talk for Reading at @SandgateTfW
Superb day at the Kent @Talk4Writing conference today, focusing in on effective EYFS and KS1 practice.
@PieCorbett and @JamieThomasTFW on top form as usual.
Hoping to see lots of local schools at the @SandgateTfW taster day next Thursday.
A great time here at @SandgateTfW last week as we honed the craft of guided writing to significantly drive standards when working with a group in either a @Talk4Writing session or in maths lessons. Teachers and TAs worked together to role play small groups with different focuses.
