We used don’t look in this book for our writing hook this week. They first predicted what was in the book. Then they have written what happened on each page!

The children have absolutely loved this book and they wrote some great endings- I was out the door Friday so forgot to take pics!

Thanks @continuousprovision_with_katie for the inspo for the book!

Summer term is always when children in Year 1 make the most progress. Their phonics knowledge clicks into place and the repetition of sentence structure finally sticks.

Here are some examples of writing in my class. Of course, this is only one piece of evidence and I would be using a range of writing to assess their final writing level at the end of term.

Cross-curricular writing in Year 1 = learning with purpose!

From writing instructions for a science experiment, to diary entries from a historical figure, children build vocabulary, creativity and knowledge all at once.

Writing becomes meaningful when it connects to the world around them!

Colourful Semantics gives learners a simple, visual way to build sentences and understand language.

By colour-coding different parts of a sentence, it helps children organise their thoughts, improve communication, and grow confidence in speaking, reading, and writing — especially for learners with speech, language, or additional learning needs.

This week we have been focussing on using the conjunction’and’ to extend sentences.
We had a skill lesson using ‘and’ then used it to write our own missing posters.

Helping Year 1 use “and”

Start with speaking, model simple sentences, then let them try in their writing. Build up slowly and encourage the children to extend their ideas.

Keep it simple and consistent:

✨ Daily phonics practice – Short, focused sessions every day
🔤 Revise tricky sounds – Go over digraphs, trigraphs, and split digraphs regularly
✏️ Teach sound buttons- Writing sound
buttons to identify sounds in the words
🎮 Make it fun – Games, flashcards, and quick-fire challenges work best
👀 Practice pseudo words – Help them spot “alien words” with confidence
💬 Build confidence – Praise effort, keep it low-pressure, no stress vibes

💡 Tip: Keep sessions fast, engaging, and repetitive!

A whole-class task board makes learning visible, helping children clearly see tasks and progress.

It encourages responsibility as children manage their own work, allows for different working speeds, and improves time management and prioritisation skills.
