Being dyslexic, I’ve always been slightly terrified by the thought of creative writing. But after an incredibly inspiring talk at work today from @writingrocks.bsky.social I can really see how important #WritingForPleasure is for kids. We definitely need more class encyclopaedias! 📚

Sharing stories... I had a lovely email from a school I visited recently, with some photos.

My eldest is now part of the Christmas crew - creating rather than believing - but I love that she insisted we all still write our letters altogether after a tough wk at sch (with special stationary of course! Now they await their collection on the tree! @writingrocks.bsky.social #WritingForPleasure

Writing Journals - what a hit! They are desperate to continue with them and have loved personalising the front. I’m excited by all the writing going on - some graphic novels, information pages and fiction- a real variety of creativity! #readingforpleasure #writingforpleasure

A great afternoon of creative writing at Portsoy Primary School! We pulled objects out of a bag and wondered what stories they might tell.
Looking forward to reading the stories as part of the Portsoy Book Festival. ❣️

Let’s look at writing across the school! We know that writing for a purpose is really motivating for children.
Today’s great writing comes from Y1 who are learning to be storytellers. Tomorrow, we’ll move up the school #writingforpleasure
