UPS children love to write! For some time now, it has been our combined endeavour and unwavering commitment to ensure that all students discover the joy and love of writing. In classrooms, children are encouraged to write for real purposes and utilise a range of different text types such as factual texts, notes, report writing, narratives and poetry. They are also taught to consider how to appeal to different audiences. We are proud of our work in increasing students’ writing achievement, and we thank you for your support and encouragement from home.

Congratulations to the following children who have shone as writers this term and who were awarded a Wonderful Writer award from their teacher. A very special well done goes to Charlotte Sampson, whose name was drawn from the hat of award recipients as the lucky winner of the Dillon’s Norwood Bookshop voucher.

We hope the holidays provide plenty of opportunities for children to enjoy writing and to share their writing with loved ones.
