Educational writer John Richmond presents the first programme in this series of three, which looks at guided writing and at a school which has embraced it. St Peter’s Primary School in Telford has an excellent reputation for creative teaching and learning. We follow a Year 1/Year 2 class where the children are compiling factual guide books about castles. Teacher Nichola Lewis is helping the children to use challenging descriptive words from their vocabulary lists. Our second class is a Year 5/Year 6 group where the children are writing a suspense story, with teacher Claire James helping the children to really ‘empathise with the protagonist’. And it’s not just the children at the school who are being taught guided writing; at the end of the programme, we briefly see a special parents’ writing workshop in action.

Great i would like to show this vídeo in a Teacher training at my school
An excellent example of guided writing at its best. Child led with teacher supporting by asking probing questions and offering suitable high level ideas. Loved the idea of paired work for the KS1 children, I will magpie and use for a guided writing lesson later this week. Many thanks!
