Super Writers’ assembly: The Super Writer awards are nominated each term for the most improved girl and boy in each class. Anyone can win the award as EVERYONE (however good) can improve. You can win the award several times over, as long as you are continuing to improve!

In the award winner’s assembly, Ms Lampard explained to the children that there are two jobs to do when you are writing at school. The first job is the author - the ideas person who has to get the story/facts told. The second job is to be an editor - to go back through it and correct spellings, vocabulary choices, the organisation of ideas, the presentation and punctuation. In the adult world these are two distinct jobs - author and editor and are usually done by two separate people. At school we ask children to do both jobs and often it is the editing job that is hard after children have invested time, energy and their emotions into their writing to then pick it apart and try to improve it further. It was lovely that so many parents/carers of the winners could attend the assembly to see the children receive their medals and hear their citations.

All the winners of the most improved writer awards have been working so hard on improving their work. The winners this time are:
