It has been written for schools with head teachers wanting to take action to improve the teaching of writing across their school, lead teachers eager to develop their subject knowledge and teaching staff who would like to see their pupils leave primary school with a deeper understanding and enjoyment of what writing can be for them and what it can do in the world beyond the classroom.

The findings of the team of schools showed that ' by stimulating emotions and imagination these approaches gave pupils a reason to write, motivating them to plan, plot and sequence, work on and improve a piece of writing through several drafts.'

The full report is attached to this news item.]]> phildavis NewsMon, 22 Mar 2010 10:18:29 +0000 http://www.PictureTheMusic.com/community/forum/read.php?1,178,178#msg-178 http://www.PictureTheMusic.com/community/forum/read.php?1,178,178#msg-178quick evaluation form - let us know how things are going.

..it really makes your brain run.

Sounds create a whole bunch of ideas.

It helped me create a powerful Imagination.

I think i can use this at SATs and English tests and long writing tasks.

It gave us so many ideas.

Sounds can take your mind and create images.

It teaches you in a fun and active way where you can imagine anything.

I enjoyed every single bit about it.

His two prints are being exhibited in the Weston room and were selected by Eileen Cooper RA. She said about Mick's work - 'This shows great control of the medium; it's got limited colour, beautifully achieved. I just think it is a very playful and charming representation of Greenwich.'

To view one of the prints go to the online gallery and scroll to image 3 of ten - click here to visit

The summer exhibition is open to the public until the 16th August 2009.

These symbols then became the basis for composition and more huge paintings.
By the end of the week the children were performing their paintings! Reading their poems. Composing new sounds and much more.
It was a fantastic week and everyone got so much out of it. All the children were so motivated and had so much fun. One boy came up to me after one of the days and said he had had "the best day in school ....ever!"
It was amazing to think that out of poetry came so much more - the children had a real reason to write
and loved making their words shine.
I hope to be able to put up some pictures of the artwork alongside the poetry soon.
Many thanks to Annie Williams, the head teacher at the school and to Nathalie for an unforgettable week.]]> phildavis Philip's BlogWed, 20 Jun 2007 11:37:49 +0100 http://www.PictureTheMusic.com/community/forum/read.php?4,154,154#msg-154 http://www.PictureTheMusic.com/community/forum/read.php?4,154,154#msg-154

The children had 3 pictures with sounds on the opening,build up and problem branches. They planned each section and came up with some excellent ideas. Even at this young age the children were able to map effectively and discuss their ideas to generate more complex ones.

I was happy to take part in the film(All about the boys), using Picture the Music. The film shows the response of a year 6 class. They all had a wonderful time and produced some stunning work.

Other people involved in the film include a journalist and an actor. I am not sure where the film will be available to see but when I find out I will let you know.]]> phildavis Philip's BlogThu, 10 May 2007 12:45:12 +0100
