My writing and grammar sessions will start by looking at a grammar objective that the children will cover in Key Stage 2 or recap in year 7. This could be new learning, recapping something that they struggle with or revising something that they haven't covered for a while and haven't used in their writing because they have just forgotten they had learnt it! This will be done as a game or a quick starter activity before we move on to the writing. They will then be able to apply this grammar knowledge in the piece of writing I ask them to do.

The writing will be based off a stimulus be it a picture or a video that the child could retell in their own words. The main part of the session would start with me writing an example with them as a group before starting them off writing their own. I will offer assistance with the writing as they carry on and offer advice or help as to how they could make it better and I would aim to send every child away with either the start of a quality piece or a complete one at the end of the session.

The main focus of the writing would be the criteria needed to get age-related or greater depth in their respective year group so if your child is chasing either of those then I can guarantee my writing sessions are for you.
