The Writing Gang

Here at Clifton we understand how important it is for children to leave Primary school as effective writers, who can write for a range of purposes. We also understand how important it is for our pupils to have a love of writing. We have therefore created a carefully thought out curriculum to ensure the writing journey our pupils take with us is a successful one and prepares them for the next stage of their education.  Along with this, we have appointed our Writing Gang.  The Writing Gang are children from Year 3, 4 and 5 that have been selected to be ambassadors for this subject area, due to their enthusiasm, vision and positive attitude to writing.

Hot off the press!

During writing sessions, children can earn themselves a Ninja Writer’s Ticket.  These are awarded for effort and for meeting the expectations for the genre they are working on.  At the end of each half term, our Writing Gang members will randomly pick one Ninja Writer’s Ticket from each year group, and these children will be awarded a certificate and choose a fancy notebook and a stylish pen or pencil.
