Welcome back

Welcome to Hedon Primary News Blog. We will be using this site as our newsletter and adding content from curriculum coordinators too. It has been lovely to welcome back all of our pupils this term. Whilst we are still taking a cautious approach to mixing, we have been able to relax some restrictions. This means our dining hall is back in use over lunchtime, children are mixing with a least one other class at breaktimes and at least two at lunch and Key Stage Assemblies have begun.

You can read this as many times as your child would like and again record it in their reading record. We have also purchased all of the books on the 100 books to read before you leave Hedon Primary School. These are spread out across the classes and can be borrowed as reading books for drop everything and read books. The number of times your child reads at h

Talk for Writing

Talk for Writing, developed by Pie Corbett, supported by Julia Strong , is powerful because it is based on the principles of how people learn. Children learn to imitate texts before , innovating using their own ideas and then applying this knowledge independently. Though fun activities that help children to rehearse the tune of the language they need, followed by shared writing to show them how to craft their writing, children are helped to write in the same style as they are studying. The process includes three main stages, usually taught over three weeks: Have a go task! We begin the teaching and learning process with a ‘cold’ writing task. This means the children have a go at writing in the text type they will learn about. Teachers use this piece of writing to identify strengths and set individual targets. A text is introduced and read to the children; together the class learn to tell the story. To help the children remember a multi-sensory approach is used: -A visual story ma
