Such a thought-provoking workshop by @navangovender1 giving us an insight into the Writing Realities Framework. Interesting to hear how writing is heavily tied to identity. Children should feel empowered to share who they are through their writing #myvoicemywriting

[Rickella @RickellaTweets]

It was great to hear about how an authentic audience and purpose can inspire and motivate children when writing. Thanks @TheWritingWeb for sharing your wonderful case studies #myvoicemywriting

[Rickella @RickellaTweets]

‘Teaching writing is more than teaching grammar.’ A fab session by @damyhill reminding us all to reflect on and think about written language. #myvoicemywriting

[Kathy Roe @kathyeroe]

Crafting writing with @MichaelRosenYes Loops and secret strings to make intertextual links and reveal the magic of syntax and cohesion. Discovery and investigation. Wonderful! #myvoicemywriting @HertsEnglish

[HertsPrimaryEnglish @HertsEnglish]
