Assessment Writing Tasks

I've been a primary school teacher in the UK for over 16 years and most of that time has been spent teaching Year 6. I am passionate about English and inspiring children through creative writing. However, I do believe it is important to give them a good grounding in grammar but believe this can be taught through engaging and creative texts. I use a mixture of techniques including from Talk for Writing and Power of Reading, but don't stick rigidly to their principles.
