Our Learning – Advent 2

Writing

At St John Fisher, we use the Pathway to Writing Program to help us develop our writing. Throughout Year 3, we will explore different writing toolkits through the study of an exciting and engaging range of model texts. These texts serve as inspiration for both narrative and non-fiction writing.
