Editing our writing

The pencil and ruler writing groups are learning how to self and peer edit their writing before showing Mrs Turner. The groups have taken great pride in sharing their work with their peers and helping each other identify the mistakes they make in their stories such as missing full stops capital letters.... It's been really lovely to hear the encouraging and supportive language being used by the kids when editing " look your so clever you used finger spacing capital letters and wow words, just remember those full stops"
