Improving Writing
Through Blogging
#TMPompey
Eeyore was saying to
himself, ‘This writing
business. Pencils and
what-not.
Over-rated, if you ask
me. Silly stuff.
Nothing in it.’
A.A.Milne
Why bother?
It's boring
Who reads it?
Won't do it in later
life
Sentence Prompts
...it wasn’t my fault...
...the weather changed for the worst...
...the chocolate rabbit melted in the sun ...

‘The unread story is not a
story; it is little black marks on
wood pulp. The reader, reading
it, makes it live: a live thing, a
story.’
Ursula K. Le Guin
Receiving comments from other schools
and teachers from around the world helps
me to improve on my writing and reading
skills. Its amazing what you can learn just
by sharing your own personal ideas.
Georgia
The commentes on the 100wc help me
as when I see them it bousts my
confednt and I can take in the
comments.
Tomasso 6d
http://www.6d.highlawnprimary.net
Anyway it encourages you, you feel more
confident when some one else writes on your
work because they’ve write some thing
lovely. It makes you belive that your a more
creative and better writer, and to feel that
you can do it and that your a fantastic writer.
From Annalise 6D
Getting comments from other
people from around the
world, helps my confidence
and tells me what to work on
next time.George
Its great to get comments on your work so
that it’s not just your teacher marking your
work. Getting comments its a great way to
boost confidence in children. It means a lot
to me because when people from around the
world comment on my work and leave kind
comments, it makes me feel warm inside!
