Ysgrifennu

The Ysgrifennu (writing) area of the classroom allows children to explore with mark making at first, experimenting with writing letters and finally writing words and sentences. 

Open ended activities and subject subject specific challenges are provided for the children to complete in these areas. 

The aim for the ysgrifennu area is to promote independence when writing, using word banks, alphabet mats and handwriting tools independently as well as using problem solving skills with various resources. 

When a Branching Out Challenge is set for the children, a WAGOLL (What A Good One Looks Like) is provided for the children to either copy, model or change depending on the level of challenge they provide for themselves. They then upload the work they compete to SeeSaw, which can be viewed by the linked home accounts, so you can see the writing they have completed.
